Consumers looking to keep the planet healthy and green may have questions in regards to a flooring product’s overall sustainability. It is important to note all flooring categories can claim environmental attributes that make them greener, as manufacturers across the industry have evolved their products and processes to create as small a footprint as possible.
Floor Trend sasked several manufacturers of hardwood, cork and bamboo to share what their companies are doing to create environmentally friendly products. Since sustainability is important but still not the most important concern for residential consumers, executives were also asked to weigh in on the design trends they are seeing.
