Cradle to Cradle Certification evaluates products based on five categories: material health, material reutilization, renewable energy, water stewardship, and social fairness. The EcoCore Series earned Gold by using 100% recyclable or biodegradable materials, sourcing wood from FSC-certified forests, and powering its manufacturing with 100% renewable energy.
The flooring is also designed for disassembly, allowing its components to be reused or recycled at the end of its lifespan. Limei has established a take-back program for EcoCore flooring, ensuring old floors are repurposed into new products or biomass energy. Notable EcoCore installations include the Rio de Janeiro Olympic Training Center and the Buenos Aires Green Sports Arena.
“Cradle to Cradle Gold Certification is a testament to our commitment to circular economy principles,” said Ms. Sofia Gonzalez, Limei’s Global Sustainability Director. “We believe sports flooring shouldn’t just perform well—it should also be good for the planet.”
Limei plans to achieve C2C Certification for its entire product line by 2030, as part of its goal to become a fully circular business.
