Is your lab flooring sustainable
Of the many factors that go into selecting flooring for a lab facility, where does sustainability rank? While many lab and facility managers desire a product that’s sustainable, many are not quite clear as to what makes one type of flooring greener than the other. Answering the following questions can clear that up:
- How was the flooring made? Was it made from renewable materials?
- How safe was the process to make the flooring?
- What kind of carbon footprint does making the flooring leave behind?
- Can the flooring be recycled and used again?
- Does the flooring compare favorably to the various types of flooring using the Environmental Production Declaration format utilized by the USGBC in their LEED program.
