Tarkett Achieves Carbon-Negative Linoleum Across Full Lifecycle

Paris, FR, November 20, 2025-Tarkett sets a new industry benchmark by achieving the world’s first carbon-negative linoleum flooring range covering all stages of the lifecycle.

While some manufacturers have reached cradle-to-gate carbon negativity for their linoleum flooring products, Tarkett Lino goes further-achieving carbon negativity across all stages of the lifecycle, from the responsible sourcing of renewable raw materials to end-of-life deconstruction, recycling and reuse.

This level of carbon negativity is possible thanks to Tarkett Lino’s circular design and systems, which enable the flooring to be recovered at the end of its life before being recycled and reused at Tarkett’s dedicated facilities, in a truly closed-loop system that keeps materials-and the carbon they store-in continuous circulation.

The milestone has been externally verified with our new Environmental Product Declaration (EPD N° 4791835705.101.1).

Tarkett has been producing linoleum in Italy since 1898 and still uses its original linoleum recipe: a blend of natural, renewable materials, including cork, linseed oil, pine rosin and wood powder.
