Products That are Better for People and the Planet
Chipboards
In 2023, 95% of the wood in our chipboards was recycled, reclaimed or recovered wood.
Recover Program
Through our Recover program, Unilin collects and recycles used vinyl flooring through external partners. In addition, this take-back program includes reusing click LVT by cleaning and repurposing the tiles for use in youth clubs and community centers.
Godfrey Hirst Wool Carpet
Godfrey Hirst recycles yarn waste rather than purchasing surplus virgin wool. Any remaining unused yarn is sold to suppliers for further repurposing.
Laminate Flooring
More than 90% of the wood used in our laminate flooring collections is recovered content from sources such as roadside maintenance and sawmills that would otherwise be burned or sent to landfills.
