Yes that’s right Certified Sustainable. Forbo Flooring recently announced that our Marmoleum products have undergone the rigorous steps of being certified to the MTS SMART© Sustainable Product Standards. SMART© (Sustainable Materials Rating Technology) Consensus Sustainable Product Standards evaluates the environmental performance of building products over their life, providing the definitive standard for what constitutes a "sustainable" building product. Credits are earned for satisfying each criteria, and different levels of certification are awarded based on total credits earned. The SMART© Consensus Sustainable Product Standards was instituted by MTS, representing all stakeholders involved in the building industry, and is open to public scrutiny. The SMART© Flooring Standard is the only independently done, peer reviewed consensus based standard that meets the environmental principles most inline with Forbo Flooring Systems’ core values and sustainable objectives. For more information on SMART© please visit http://MTS.sustainableproducts.com On a lighter note you inadvertently combined the attributes of MCT with that of Marmoleum Click.
