Sustainability in Action: nora’s Commitment to Progress Shines Through with the updated EPDs!

 
Reduced global warming potential
The updated EPDs demonstrate measurable reductions in the carbon footprint of our products, reflecting our commitment to environmental stewardship.

Enhanced product benefits
98 % of our products now offer improved sustainability features, including extended lifespans, increased use of recycled and bio-based materials,and cradle-to-cradle certifications.

Industry-leading performance
In many cases, nora products now even boast a lower carbon footprint compared to equivalent products in the industry.

New EPDs for specific designs
We’ve introduced new EPDs for select thicknesses and designs that support reusable installation systems, further reducing waste and promoting circularity.

These advancements not only elevate sustainability but also maintain the superior performance you expect from nora.
 

A cleaner, greener future, without compromising on quality.

In the beginning of 2025, we have released our updated Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for the majority of our rubber flooring designs. These updates underscore our ongoing efforts to reduce the carbon footprint of our materials and manufacturing processes, marking another significant step toward our goal of becoming a carbon-negative company by 2040.
