Caring about safety, health and the environment shall constitute a natural part of our business, and it is the responsibility of each of us to contribute to continuous improvements in this area.

Perstorp Flooring has also been recognized by the American Lung Association. Pergo was installed in the ALA's Health House, which is a model home built to feature environmentally friendly products and technologies for a healthier home.

Pergo has also been the recipient of the prestigious Consumer Digest "Best Buy Award".

Our environmental policy is always to stay ahead of legislation. This forward-thinking approach has led to our becoming the first flooring manufacturer to be awarded Europe's Nordic Swan environmental label. This makes Pergo the world's first eco-labeled floor.

Production methods
Our flooring is made almost entirely of renewable materials. All production of Pergo materials is done in a highly resource-efficient manner, with an emphasis on reducing environmental impact.

Pergo is now made in America as well as in Sweden, in two of the world's most advanced flooring factories. We manufacture with renewable raw materials and resource-efficient methods - for example, we use the milling operation's waste wood as fuel. By using an extra thin circular saw blade, we have reduced sawdust waste by 40%. All waste is collected and turned into fuel in a boiler. By using this process, our heat generation system is completely self-contained.

We also focus on the entire product life cycle, continually upgrading our technology, production and distribution systems. Our environmental plan is based on identifying weak links in the chain - finding ways, for example, to minimize packaging, to save resources in transportation or to recycle our used products.
