The product is made from recycled materials and is therefore 100 per cent recyclable. Harmful substances such as PVC or phthalates are deliberately avoided and healthy alternatives are used - the Blue Angel officially certifies this.
The wall and floor coverings made of CERAMIN® are high-quality, robust and durable with a life cycle of up to 20 years. As a technology leader in the sustainable flooring industry, the CLASSEN Group sets new standards with its products in terms of recyclability and circular economy. This is complemented by climate-friendly production and a transparent supply chain, which places particular emphasis on suppliers from Germany and Europe. Taken together, all these aspects fully convinced the expert jury of the Green Collection Award.
