Environmental Impact
Improving efficiencies, conserving energy and reducing our carbon footprint.
Our commitment to environmental protection today is rooted in a desire to preserve the natural environment for future generations. We recognize that our commitment to sustainability is a journey of continuous improvement. The journey began in a corporate culture that has always encouraged us to reduce the impact of our operations in the environment while enhancing our contributions to the economy and to society. It continues today as we carefully and deliberately research, develop and deliver new products and services that keep pace with the challenges of our customers and the evolving definition of what it means to be green, today and tomorrow.
nora® floor coverings do not contain any PVC, plasticizers (phthalate) or halogens (e.g., chlorine). Since our rubber floors do not contain any PVC, it also guarantees that no hydrochloric acid, dioxins and furans are generated. Extremely tough and hard wearing, our sustainable rubber floors have a life expectancy far above the average of other resilient floor coverings. A long life expectancy means conservation of resources, both of our products and of the auxiliaries required to install them, because of the relatively infrequent need for renewal and disposal.
nora green initiatives include:
Recycled and Recyclable Packaging
nora products are supplied either loose or in 100% recyclable cardboard boxes manufactured from waste paper. The products are stored and delivered on wooden pallets that can be returned and reused. Rubber sheet products are rolled on reusable hard paper cores made of recycled cardboard and the secondary packaging is made of recyclable paper and sealed in environmentally compatible, recyclable polyethylene film.
