Green flooring has become a widely used catch phrase in our industry. Many manufacturers attach this to many products.
Bamboo, for instance, is a leading product that is often discussed in green flooring. But how green is bamboo?

eco logical (continued)
With more than twenty two years in the hardwood flooring industry we know the importance of efficiency and waste control, both of which are fundamental to sound business practices. When we use less, we spend less, and can keep our product costs lower for our customers. Our philosophy at Eco-Logical Hardwoods is based in the choices we make and their ultimate impact on the legacy we will leave.
We strive to be a company that works diligently to create a responsible, sustainable product for generations to come. We’re working with designers, builders, and consumers who want to adopt an Eco-Logical mindset to enhance their homes or businesses.
...green or green washed
Certainly the base material is derived from the bamboo grass without ever harvesting the plant itself making it a truly sustainable product. What you may not hear however, are reports of the energy used in manufacturing.
The carbon literally is burned to create the “carbonized” color in the material. The formaldehyde rich adhesives used to bond the material and the extremely high VOC content of the finishes applied to these products also paint another picture that is seldom reported. This of course does not apply to all the bamboo suppliers but it applies to many. A simple case of half truths and misleading advertising is used by many manufacturers.
...green or green washed
Early in our green flooring development we decided to choose a different path. We found the most sustainable raw material in the industry that could be third-party certified. That certification comes from the United States Green Building Council. We then treat and finish this product in our facility while closely managing our resources. This includes reducing excessive material, freight and handling to finishing our flooring with highly durable products that are not caustic to the environment.
...
We don’t just say all our finishes are Zero VOC products that are certified by the Leed Rating System – we make sure they meet those rigid specifications. One further step - we package our finished products in recycled packaging and oversee delivery to your home by the most efficient freight systems available to us.
Being an informed consumer
Solid hardwood flooring is undeniably the most cost-effective flooring option on the market today. The life cycle of solid hardwood flooring is four to ten times that of other flooring options.

Its natural beauty is timeless and the health benefits are great. The National Association of Realtors tells us that homes with hardwood flooring sell more quickly and for a higher price than homes without. Wood flooring also reduces landfill waste and at the end of its life cycle can be burned as fuel or recycled. If discarded properly solid hardwood is 100% bio-degradable. Ask yourself - can any other floor covering come close to the sustainability, beauty, and perfect design that nature has created?
