Innovation that comes naturally. Marmoleum Cocoa embraces our ethos of sustainable design and truly is a new addition to our Marmoleum flooring. By using a waste product from another industry we are collaborating to reduce waste, improve recycling and contribute to a better environment..

By adding Cocoa shells to the traditional Marmoleum ingredients we have created an innovation in construction and aesthetics. The result is a new and exciting surface texture that is both natural looking and contemporary in feel.

The inclusion of cocoa adds a rich granular look that is fresh, modern and also provides dirt hiding properties.

Cocoa and Circularity

Marmoleum Cocoa: natural innovation

The Dutch region ‘De Zaanstreek’ - the region where our Marmoleum factory is located - is an area where a lot of cocoa is being produced and processed. This gave us the inspiration for our new Cocoa floor covering; A combination of our sustainable Marmoleum flooring mixed with cocoa husks.

The tough cocoa husks are the rest product of cocoa production. We collect them and grind them finely and spread them onto the Marmoleum. The Cocoa husks itself have facets of different colors and give the floor a unique granular look & feel.

A natural revolution

Marmoleum Cocoa is climate positive and ready for circular use. Reducing your carbon footprint and increasing the use of post-consumer recycled content, it can be used over and over again.

Marmoleum Cocoa is made out of 97% natural and renewable raw materials. Of this, 43% is combined recycled content from end-of-life, post-installation, cross-industry and closed loop waste streams.

Of the recycled content, 33% is recycled pre- and/or post-consumer flooring waste. The balance between pre- and post-consumer waste varies due to the availability of installation waste and old flooring obtained through our Back-to-the-Floor program. To ensure high-quality flooring, our recycled content is fully tested for health and safety standards before we reuse it in our new floors.

The production process for Marmoleum Cocoa flooring results in less pollution and every square metre saved from incineration after its lifetime saves emissions to the equivalent of 1.8 kg of CO2 .
