Two companies specializing in sustainable flooring merge to create a showcase of green products aligned with a commitment to green manufacturing methods.
How often do you find a manufacturer willing to open its doors and show you exactly what’s being done every day to make its product sustainable? To actually get a transparent, behind-the-scenes look at exactly what an everyday product is made of—and how it’s made—can be a refreshing experience. The mission of Tarkett’s flooring companies—Centiva and Tandus now merging as Tandus Centiva—is to make big moves that keep their transparent, sustainable message apparent.
The Centiva flooring plant in Florence, Ala., promotes the company’s sustainable message throughout the facility and office with many different green features. In a tour of the manufacturing plant, which produces luxury vinyl tile (LVT), the focus on environmental initiatives is plain to see, especially in the areas of water, energy, waste and recycling.
