Sustainability is about so much more than just environmental issues. Sustainability encompasses both social and economic dimensions as well as environmental responsibility. Our sustainability program is a holistic approach to managing sustainability issues, considering our impact on all three aspects of sustainability and not just the environment.
As a manufacturer of floor and wall products, we are able to help projects achieve credits in LEED® categories of Material & Resources and Indoor Environmental Quality. To learn how each of our products can help you with LEED credits, click the document below:

EPD (Environmental Product Declaration)
An Environmental Product Declaration or EPD® provides relevant, verified, and comparable information about the environmental impact of a product. Altro supports the EPD initiative and has Product Specific Type III EPDs for the majority of our sheet vinyl flooring products including our sheet goods and our LVT Altro Lavencia. An EPD is also available for our Altro Whiterock wall cladding.

HPD (Health Product Declaration)
The HPD is a public statement of a product’s content and the health hazards associated with exposure to its individual ingredients. It is intended to represent a way to gain greater transparency into the ingredients that make up building products. Altro has an HPD for all of our safety flooring products and is available by request.

Recycled content
Altro includes post-consumer recycled content into the majority of our safety flooring products. By doing so, we divert more than 900 tons of glass from landfill each year. Altro is also the first manufacturer to recycle safety flooring in-house. By including this pre-consumer content into some of our products we divert more than 500 tons of vinyl factory waste each year.

Bio-based content
We have removed all phthalates from our safety flooring products and have replaced them with rapidly renewable, bio-based ingredients - plasticizers. The source of this ingredient comes from maize and sugar beets both responsibly grown in Europe!
