Thanks to its material properties, it is suitable not only for reuse in new flooring but also for use in other products. This contributes to resource conservation and supports a sustainable circular economy.

A strong signal to the industry

With the Cradle to Cradle Material Health certification, the CLASSEN is sending a strong signal in support of sustainable innovation in the flooring industry. “This certification is another milestone for our company and demonstrates that sustainable business practices and high-quality product solutions can go hand in hand,” explains Sebastian Wendel, who is responsible for strategic business development at the CLASSEN.
