About:

A waste material from the flooring industry is used to create this new surface material. The material is made of 50% jute fibre. Jute fibre is the only waste material in the production process of Forbo linoleum. By combining it with plaster, the fluff is transformed into strong tiles with distinct patterns. The original properties of the plaster are changed by this addition. Giving this waste material a second life and new durable purpose. By using this waste material, Forbo linoleum becomes a zero-waste product.

With our Jute Tile collection we provide an alternative to ceramics, a sustainable replacement for traditional tiling. This tile is part of a closed-loop and waste-based system.

Material information:

The tiles are coated with an eco-friendly material, this makes it water repellent but not totally waterproof. Jute and plaster are both naturally mold and mildew resistant, making it applicable for several interior spaces. Plaster is endlessly recyclable. At the end of the products life, we recycle the material into gypsum powder for the development of new products.
