    • 29 subsidiaries
    • 7 logistics platforms
    • 5 R&D centres

     

    Less energy More recycling

    Located in Saint-Paul-Trois-Châteaux (Drôme region in France), this new-generation production site is entirely eco-designed, reflected in its energy efficiency and intensive treatment of recycled materials.
    By deploying a gravity-based process, 30% of energy per m2 is saved, as compared with industry standards.

    Finding the energy to consume less

    In recent years, the industrial heating and cooling systems at our French production sites in Tarare, Saint-Paul, and Grillon have been replaced with higher efficiency energy systems.
    In addition, the design of new production lines and re-engineering of existing resources have enabled us to reduce energy consumption by incorporating the absolute best existing technologies.
    For example, the new “2 metre” roll line in Saint-Paul has resulted in a 30% reduction in consumption.

     

    Moving to all-electric

    Diesel vehicles used for handling trailers at the Saint-Paul site were replaced with electric tow tractors in 2019. Also, all handling vehicles at the Tarare production site will be electric by 2022.
    This will significantly contribute to reducing the site’s CO2 emissions.

     

     

    PVC, A 100% RECYCLABLE MATERIAL


     

    25% recycled content

    Our vinyl products contain 25% recycled materials, on average. Incorporating recycled materials does not affect our product quality and performance. Some of our more technical products contain over 50% recycled materials. All recycled content complies with the European REACH regulation.

    Know more about REACH

    PVC floor coverings contain on average 57% of mineral components such as chalk or salt, unlike other plastic products.

    These components are not subject to resource depletion.

    Upcycling*: gerflor recycles its own products... And other manufacturers’ products

    In 2000, Gerflor became the first flooring manufacturer in the world to use a textile backing made from recycled PET bottles.
    For example, every m² of the Transit Tex range recycles 4 uses plastic bottles.

    * Upcycling: re-use of end-of-life materials in such a way as to create products of higher quality or value.
