Tarkett announces the sourcing of BIOVYNTM, the world’s first commercially available grade of bio-attributed vinyl by INOVYN, using a supply chain recognized by The Roundtable on Sustainable Biomaterials (RSB).
BIOVYNTM is made using bio-attributed ethylene, a renewable feedstock derived from non-food biomass. It is recognized by RSB as delivering a 100% substitution of fossil feedstock in its production system, enabling a greenhouse gas saving of over 90% compared to conventionally produced vinyl.
This move is a concrete example of Tarkett’s commitment to seek innovative alternatives to conventional vinyl sourcing, that help mitigate climate change through lower greenhouse gas emissions, and preserve the world’s finite resources. It will also enable Tarkett to meet the customers’ demand for vinyl floors made out of less fossil resources, gradually replaced by renewable feedstock derived from non-food biomass.
