Safe & Healthy Ingredients

We are continuously challenging ourselves to create better interior spaces and better work environments by using safe and healthy materials in our products.

Our focus on safe and healthy ingredients is a never-ending journey. We actively list, screen, assess and optimise our list of ingredients across our product portfolio as we move forward to bring innovative and sustainable flooring solutions to market.

THE NUTRITION LABEL FOR PRODUCTS

We are working towards full ingredient transparency through Declare to help our stakeholders make informed decisions and demonstrate our commitment to healthy ingredients.

Full transparency with Declare™

Declare rises above the greenwash and provides a platform for public disclosure that surpasses any other materials label. We are working to integrate our full product offering into the Declare program.

The Declare™ label shows a product’s entire ingredients to a threshold of 100-parts-per-million, creating a 'nutrition label'. The label addresses three key concerns: Where does a product originate? What is it made of? Where does it end up at the end of its life?

Material Health & Recycling

Across each product category, from hard and resilient flooring to broadloom carpet, woven carpet and carpet tiles, we actively explore how we can integrate more pre-consumer (post-industrial) recycled materials into our products.

However, as we work towards greater cycling of resources, we need to understand more about these inputs, what they’re made of, and how they may react when reprocessed. Identification and safe handling of products are critical imperatives to avoid continually cycling and increasing exposure to content known to be toxic or suspected to be harmful.

GH Commercial’s approach goes beyond just using recycled materials in manufacturing our products, it’s about using healthier ingredients.
