Carbon-Negative Flooring

The carbon-negative linoleum from Tarkett introduces a flooring material that captures more carbon than it emits when measured from raw extraction through end-of-life recycling. The product follows the traditional linoleum composition of linseed oil, cork, wood flour, and natural resins, but it is manufactured in a facility powered by renewable energy and supported by a take-back program that recycles used panels into new material. The result is a flooring solution that becomes a net carbon sink while maintaining durability and ease of installation.

The linoleum is verified through an independently reviewed environmental declaration that confirms its full life-cycle performance. Its design flexibility makes it suitable for residential, commercial, and institutional interiors, while its circular production system establishes a replicable model for low-impact building materials. Tarkett’s approach demonstrates how everyday products can contribute to climate-positive construction by combining natural ingredients, responsible manufacturing, and long-term material recovery.
