circularity

we act for circularity

We believe it is urgent to close the loop and rethink usage to limit waste. Our floors and walls are designed to accelerate the transition toward a circular economy model - easy to remove, reuse and recycle.

The Second Life Program, our collection system in more than 12 countries

Launched in 2011, this scheme is free for installation companies and distributors and is tailored to their requirements. It also accepts competitors' flooring.

Once collected, the products are directed to one of our two recycling centres.

The secondary raw material obtained is then transported to Gerflor factories to be incorporated into new products.

Collection systems were available in 2024 in more than 10 countries.

second life

61,000 tons of waste treated in our factories and recycling centers

Since 1960 our factories are true recycling centers. We recycle more than 80% of our production waste and are working towards “zero waste” factories.

Installation waste and end-of-life products collected through the second life program are directed to one of our two dedicated recycling centers based in France and Germany.

The recyclate obtained is then sent back to Geflor factories to be incorporated into new Gerflor products.

We believe that looselay solutions embody the future of floor coverings

As early as 2000, Gerflor patented looselay vinyl rolls with a textile backing, an innovation that has become the benchmark in the glue-free flooring market.
These solutions help to improve indoor air quality, speed up installation and facilitate reuse and recycling.
Today, more than 30 ranges of looselay flooring — rolls, tiles and planks — account for 38% of our sales.
