Renewal - Our Vision for Sustainability
Sustaining is no longer enough. We need to renew our perspectives and relationships with our built environments. At Matter Surfaces, we look at the holistic picture — from the raw materials that go into the products we sell to the effects on indoor air quality our customers experience for years after installation. We’re committed to ensuring that our products do the least harm and the most good wherever possible.
Our Values
At Matter Surfaces, we are driven by a set of core values that guide our approach to sustainability.
Environmental Responsibility
We recognize our responsibility to protect and preserve the environment. We strive to minimize our ecological footprint and promote sustainable practices throughout our operations.
Ethical Partnerships
We are committed to working with partners that source our raw materials from suppliers who adhere to high ethical standards. Our partners share our commitment to social responsibility and fair labor practices.
Innovation
We continuously explore innovative solutions to minimize environmental impact while delivering high-quality products. We believe in pushing the boundaries of what is possible, combining sustainability with cutting-edge technology and design.
Making a Tangible Impact
FreeCycle™ is Matter Surfaces' commitment to advancing a more circular built environment. Bringing together products, programs, and services that support reuse, recovery, and closed-loop systems, FreeCycle™ helps extend the life of commercial flooring while reducing waste.
Initiatives such as Back2Bolon, Bolon's take-back program that transforms used flooring into new products, and our MI Tabs and MI Mags installation systems, which allow for the adaptive reuse of flooring through clean removal and reinstallation without the use of permanent adhesives, make it easier for customers to renovate, repurpose, and recover materials instead of replacing them.
By designing for reuse from installation through end of life, FreeCycle™ helps turn circularity from an aspiration into a practical reality.
Our Standards
To uphold our commitment to sustainability, we have established rigorous standards that govern every aspect of our business.
