Webinar: The Fall of Plastics: What’s so Luxurious about LVT?

Luxury Vinyl Tile is taking over the world of flooring: it mimics the look of wood or stone tile without the same installation or maintenance needs. It is cheap, waterproof, and durable. And manufacturers have been making sustainability claims arguing that they avoid chemicals or achieve a lower carbon footprint. Given that it is a synthetic plastic polymer, aka petrochemical product, one wonders how sustainable or healthy it can be?

Watch the webinar recording to see the Center for Environmental Health, Material Research L3C and Autocase share their current research (hot off the press) into what we need to know about LVT and why alternatives for flooring are in urgent demand.
