MINIMIZING OUR IMPACT ON CLIMATE CHANGE

At Metroflor, we recognize that everything we do can have an impact, good or bad, on the changing climate and we want to what we can to minimize our impact. One way we do that is by shipping all of Metroflor samples and Prevail accessories via UPS Carbon Neutral as standard practice. A portion of the cost to ship UPS Carbon Neutral supports global projects that offset the carbon contribution of shipping.

Carbon neutral shipping of our product samples and accessories helps fight climate change and preserve natural resources. The UPS Carbon Neutral program reduces the carbon footprint for Metroflor and our customers

DELIVERING PEACE OF MIND THROUGH TRANSPARENCY

Metroflor and HMTX Industries have taken a leadership stance in the area of LVT product transparency. We're committed to ensuring end-users have the information they need to make informed decisions about our products and actively support the Declare product ingredient transparency platform. Health Product Declarations (HPDs) have also been published for a wide range of our products.


Declare

Metroflor has Declare labels for all of our 20 mil commercially rated LVT floors. Declare labels are the equivalent of nutrition labels for food products – they list all ingredients used in a product. This label requires that Metroflor’s raw material suppliers are meeting the same stringent guidelines as required by Declare. Declare is one example of Metroflor’s transparency with consumers and end-users sharing a depth of information about our products that few other manufacturers match.


Visit the Declare website, click Manufacturer, the select Metroflor Corporation to view the currently available Declare labels for Metroflor products.


Health Product Declarations (HPDs)

The Health Product Declaration (HPD) Open Standard provides a framework for product manufacturers and their ingredient suppliers to report and disclose information about products and associated health information. A report published in compliance with the HPD Open Standard is referred to as a completed "Health Product Declaration," or "HPD."

HPDs have become more and more common among flooring manufacturers, including Metroflor, as commercial architects and designers have embraced them and request HPDs from manufacturers on behalf of their clients to ensure the health and wellness of building occupants.


Metroflor supports the HPD-Collaborative and publishes HPD’s for a wide array of commercial-oriented products in Genesis, Inception, Metroflor LVT, Attraxion, and Artistek product lines.
