The North American Laminate Flooring Association (NALFA) announced its continued support of the 2025 Flooring Sustainability Summit, which will take place July 16-17, 2025, at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington, D.C. The event brings together key decision-makers, sustainability experts, and industry leaders to drive meaningful conversations about the future of sustainable flooring.

Building on the success of last year’s Summit, which attracted over 200 attendees, NALFA encourages all member companies to send at least one representative to participate in the discussions and take valuable insights back to their organizations. With sustainability playing an increasingly significant role in the flooring industry, attending this Summit is a crucial opportunity for companies to engage in forward-thinking dialogue and establish best practices.

“The 2024 Flooring Sustainability Summit delivered actionable insights that are critical to the future of our industry,” said Tim Neitzel, VP of product development and marketing at Swiss Krono, LLC. “From embodied carbon to evolving green building initiatives, the discussions highlighted both the urgency and the opportunity in front of us. We’re already looking ahead to the 2025 Summit and the meaningful collaboration it will inspire across the flooring sector.”

As a leader in promoting sustainable practices in the laminate flooring industry, NALFA recognizes the importance of increasing participation in sustainability initiatives. The Summit provides members with the opportunity to engage with policymakers and industry leaders to help shape the future of flooring. Attendees will gain valuable insights into the latest environmental regulations, green building codes, and certification standards that impact the industry. The event will also highlight innovative approaches to circular economy principles, product life cycle assessments, and sustainable procurement strategies. In addition, members will have the chance to network with manufacturers, distributors, architects, and designers to explore collaborative solutions that drive sustainability forward.

This year's program will feature a pre-Summit workshop introducing sustainability fundamentals, along with expert-led discussions on market trends, circular economy strategies, and sustainable supply chain practices. By attending the 2025 Flooring Sustainability Summit, NALFA members can gain the tools and insights needed to stay ahead of evolving standards and drive sustainability efforts within their own companies.
