Times are changing and as we all know, not always in a good way. For today, we need to think about tomorrow more than we did yesterday. We owe it to our generation and future ones: We need to consider the way we eat, the way we travel, how we relax, work and think, or in other words: we have to change the way we live.
Over the last 125 years we have been on an inspiring, Marmoleum path. With ups, downs, and the most amazing colors and textures. A CO2-neutral path through millions of buildings around the world. A path that's still unfolding, because we haven't reached that fully sustainable future. Which, is why we invite you to join us and... choose most consciously...

Discover our Marmoleum products
The craft of manufacturing linoleum has evolved over the last 150 years. Forbo has been driving this development through its Marmoleum brand. Making Marmoleum flooring is an art, which is not learned at any trade - or craft school. In fact, only a handful of people know how to make Marmoleum.
Find out how we make Marmoleum
With the enormous variety of floors, we can imagine that it's not always easy to know the difference between different flooring types. We explain what the difference is in build up of linoleum and vinyl, PVC, synthetic and rubber flooring solutions.
Marmoleum and other flooring types
All Marmoleum collections offer you endless possibilities to mix and match, even with other Forbo flooring products such as our entrance flooring solution Coral, Flotex flocked flooring and Impressa naturally PVC free flooring.

Floor coverings are an intrinsic part of the built environment, they are omnipresent in every square meter of our schools, health care institutions, workplaces, leisure centers, and our home. Forbo Marmoleum floors are designed to contribute to a safe, hygienic, and comfortable environment, adding to your health.
Why is Marmoleum so healthy?
The weighted average of our Marmoleum product range is CO2 neutral (cradle to gate) without carbon offsetting and does not affect worldwide climate change. It combines ecological values with contemporary design and offers an important contribution to a sustainable world.
Carbon offsetting means that the CO2 emissions are not actually reduced in the production of the floor but rather by taking other initiatives like planting trees to compensate for the emission after the production cycle. The manufacturing of Marmoleum is CO2 neutral (cradle to gate) by itself without the need to purchase carbon offsets.
Discover why Marmoleum is CO2 neutral (from cradle to gate)
In line with our sustainability strategy, we use various transparent certification systems from independent third parties worldwide to have our floor coverings regularly checked and evaluated.
This is positive for Forbo Flooring Systems because it helps us draw attention to our sustainability strategy and identify opportunities for improvement.

The restoring capacity of natural resources is the basis for the circular economy. In essence, linoleum is a bio-cycle product, this means that the natural raw materials can be composted and returned to earth as nutrients to the new grown rapid natural raw materials. Another alternative is clean energy generation at the end of useful life reducing the reliance on fossil fuels.
