Learn About Our Green Practices
Responsible Sourcing and Use of Sustainable Materials
- Certified Wood Sourcing: The use wood from responsibly managed forests certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) or Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC). Highlight that this certification ensures wood comes from forests managed to strict environmental, social, and economic standards.
- Eco-Friendly Alternatives: For our products like SPC, we use natural, non-toxic binders or adhesives to minimize the environmental impact.
Low VOC Emissions and Indoor Air Quality
- FloorScore and GREENGUARD Certifications: Republic Floor's products are certified for low emissions, which can help maintain healthy indoor air quality. This appeals to customers looking for healthier environments in their homes or commercial spaces.
- Formaldehyde-Free Products: Republic Floor's engineered hardwood, WoodMax laminate, or SPC flooring uses formaldehyde-free adhesives (California Air Resources Board), making them safer for indoor use and reducing harmful emissions during production and throughout the product’s lifespan.
Durability and Long Product Life
- Long-Lasting, Low-Maintenance Design: We are making sure our Floor is made to last. Flooring that lasts longer reduces the need for replacements, which in turn decreases the demand on natural resources. We see durability as a direct part of our plan towards environmental Improvement, as high-quality materials reduce waste and are a more sustainable choice over time.
- Stain- and Scratch-Resistant Finishes: These reduce the need for harmful chemicals to maintain or clean the flooring, making Republic's products easier on the environment over their lifespan.
