Tarkett is committed to a sustainable circular economy that creates value for everyone, closes the cycle of waste, conserves natural resources and reduces the impact on climate change. In 2009, Tarkett implemented an ambitious eco-innovation strategy to offer product ranges that promote the health and wellbeing of the planet and its customers. The company designs its products with an end of life in mind, for example the development of adhesive-free solutions that promote easy recycling.

98% of Tarkett's raw materials (over 3,000) have been assessed by EPEA as independent assessor, according to Cradle to Cradle® principles. This means that the company studies the health, safety, environmental and social quality of its materials and can understand the impact of its products at every stage of their life cycle, from manufacturing, use to durability. Because what happens at the end of a product's life cycle is just as important as what happens during production.
