Times are changing and now 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 we have to do it for future ones: 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 it hasn't reached that fully sustainable future. Which is why we invite you to join us... choose most consciously...
LIVE FORWARD
Marmoleum floor coverings are created out of natural raw materials, with no use of synthetic materials like PVC or Polyolefin. This makes Marmoleum the sustainable flooring choice for every indoor environment.
Discover the ingredients we use for the production of Marmoleum floor coverings
Because Marmoleum floors are made from natural raw materials we depend highly on humans who guide the process of harvesting and preparing the raw materials for further transportation and preparation. Only when this process is perfectly organized, our craftsperson in the factory can make high quality Marmoleum out of it.

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’s Marmoleum floors are designed to have a contribution to a safe, hygienic and comfortable environment, contributing to your health.
Why is Marmoleum so healthy?
The weighted average of our Marmoleum product range is CO2 neutral (cradle to gate) without offsetting, which does not affect the worldwide climate change. It combines ecological values with contemporary design and offers an important contribution to a sustainable world.
Offset means that the CO2 emission is not reduced in the production of the floor but by taking other initiatives like planting trees to compensate for the emission. The manufacturing of Marmoleum is CO2 neutral (cradle to gate) by itself.
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 to draw attention to our sustainability strategy and identify opportunities for improvement.
Find out more about our Eco labels
The restoring capacity of natural resources is the bases for the circular economy. In essence linoleum is a bio-cycle product, this means that the natural raw materials basically could be composted and returned to earth as nutrients to the new grown rapid natural raw materials.
