QUICK•STEP® GREENWORKS

Leading the way by constantly seeking new ways to recycle, reduce, reuse, recover and renew.

A lot of companies talk about being green. At Quick•Step® laminate flooring, we're making the effort to do what's best. For our customers, our business, our industry - and our planet.

When sourcing materials, we select renewable, fast-growing southern pine exclusively for our U.S.-produced core boards. Seventy-four percent of our U.S.-produced laminate boards are made of pre-consumer (post-industrial) wood waste. And not one exotic tree is harvested from the rainforest to create our beautiful exotic laminate floors.

During manufacturing, our rejected laminate flooring products are integrated into our chipboard factory, reused by third-party manufacturers or burned to serve as heat for the laminate process - rather than going to a landfill. Wood waste from manufacturing is used as bio-mass fuel for heating our factories.

Our patented locking system eliminates the introduction of VOC's typically associated with installation adhesives. All Quick•Step® laminate wood flooring and laminate tile flooring manufactured after January 1, 2009 are California 93120 Phase 1 compliant for formaldehyde emissions.

When you're ready for a change, you simply unclick, remove and reuse our laminate floors - in another room, another home or give it away to a community organization.
