SPC Flooring Carbon Footprint | DECNO PCF Certified Manufacturer

DECNO Advances Sustainable Flooring Solutions with Verified Product Carbon Footprint Assessment.

As global demand for sustainable building materials continues to grow, DECNO is proud to announce the successful completion of a comprehensive Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) assessment for its SPC Flooring and SPC Wall Panel product range. The study was independently conducted by TÜV Rheinland in accordance with ISO 14067:2018, the internationally recognized standard for quantifying greenhouse gas emissions associated with products throughout their lifecycle.

This achievement marks another important milestone in DECNO’s sustainability journey and reinforces the company’s commitment to providing environmentally responsible flooring and wall panel solutions for customers worldwide.

Supporting Global Sustainability Goals

The construction and building materials industry is undergoing a major transformation driven by stricter environmental regulations, carbon transparency requirements, and growing market demand for sustainable products. Across Europe and other international markets, carbon footprint data and Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) are increasingly becoming key requirements for commercial projects, public procurement, green building certifications, and ESG reporting.

To support these evolving market expectations, DECNO has invested in environmental assessment and lifecycle analysis programs that provide transparent and reliable environmental performance data for its products.

Today, DECNO offers customers not only high-quality SPC flooring and wall panel solutions but also verified environmental documentation that supports sustainable construction projects.

Verified Carbon Footprint Results

According to the Product Carbon Footprint Study Report, the representative 4.5mm SPC Flooring product achieved a carbon footprint value of 18.13 kg CO₂e per square meter under a cradle-to-gate assessment boundary.

The study covered raw material extraction, transportation, manufacturing processes, energy consumption, and packaging activities. The assessment was based on actual production data collected from DECNO’s manufacturing operations and analyzed using internationally recognized lifecycle assessment methodologies.

The report identified electricity consumption, PVC resin, wear layer materials, and calcium carbonate as the primary contributors to the product’s overall carbon footprint. These findings provide valuable insights for future carbon reduction initiatives and continuous environmental improvement.

Continuous Improvement Through Innovation

The carbon footprint assessment also highlighted significant opportunities for further emissions reduction.

Scenario analysis conducted during the study demonstrated that increasing the use of renewable energy could substantially reduce the overall carbon footprint of SPC flooring products. Under a 100% photovoltaic (PV) electricity scenario, the product carbon footprint could be reduced by approximately 36%, demonstrating the strong potential of clean energy integration within manufacturing operations.

As part of its long-term sustainability strategy, DECNO continues to explore:

Energy efficiency optimization throughout production processes

Increased use of renewable energy sources

Sustainable raw material selection

Resource utilization improvement

Waste recycling and circular manufacturing practices

Supply chain environmental collaboration

Closed-Loop Manufacturing and Resource Efficiency

Environmental responsibility is integrated throughout DECNO's production system.

During manufacturing, production scraps and defective materials generated from SPC flooring and wall panel production are collected, processed, and reintroduced into production through internal recycling systems. This closed-loop approach helps reduce waste generation while improving resource utilization efficiency.

By continuously improving manufacturing technologies and operational efficiency, DECNO seeks to reduce environmental impacts while maintaining the high product quality standards expected by global customers.

Supporting Green Building Projects Worldwide

In addition to its Product Carbon Footprint assessment, DECNO has also obtained Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) certification and continues to maintain a comprehensive environmental and quality management system.

Combined with certifications such as ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, CE, FloorScore, and third-party testing programs, DECNO provides customers with reliable environmental and technical documentation that supports:

Green building certification projects

Sustainable commercial developments

Residential construction projects

Hospitality and retail applications

ESG and corporate sustainability initiatives
