Corporate sustainability goals require concrete actions, and flooring material choices are one of them. Infloor’s Cycle Colors collection is manufactured from 100% recycled materials, such as Econyl nylon and recycled felt backing. These carpet tiles offer a durable, easy-to-maintain, and visually versatile solution for public spaces. The collection combines environmental responsibility and practicality in a way that supports a company’s sustainability strategy without compromising on quality or aesthetics.
What does a 100% recyclable carpet tile mean and how does it differ from a regular carpet?
A 100% recyclable carpet tile is manufactured entirely from recycled materials and can be recycled again into raw materials after use. The Cycle Colors collection uses Econyl nylon, which is made from discarded fishing nets and textile waste, for example. The backing structure is also made from recycled felt, so the entire product follows circular economy principles.
A regular commercial carpet often contains virgin raw materials and recycling it at the end of the product’s lifecycle is challenging. Cycle Colors collection products, on the other hand, are designed from the outset to be recyclable. This means that materials can be separated and processed into new products without quality degradation.
Infloor’s carpet tiles’ LiftBAC self-adhesive backing surface makes installation easy without glue or other additives. This feature also facilitates the replacement of individual tiles and ultimately recycling. The tiles are odorless and non-allergenic, making them safe for office and hotel spaces. All Infloor products have M1 certification, which guarantees excellent indoor air quality.
The manufacturing process utilizes modern technology that significantly reduces environmental impact. The new printing technology used in the hotel module collection saves 85% water compared to traditional methods.

How do recycled flooring materials support a company’s sustainability strategy in practice?
Recycled flooring materials directly reduce a company’s carbon footprint and support the circular economy. When you choose Cycle Colors collection carpets for your office or hotel, you reduce the need for virgin raw materials and support material reuse. This is a concrete action that is reflected in sustainability reporting and environmental calculations.
For Finnish companies, domesticity and sustainability are important values. Although Infloor manufactures its products in Germany, we supply them to Finnish customers as part of our long-term partnership. The German Ministry of the Environment has awarded Infloor’s factory for significant environmental achievements, which reinforces the credibility of the products as a responsible choice.
Recycled carpets for public spaces improve a company’s reputation in the eyes of both employees and customers. When you choose a carpet tile made from recycled materials, you send a message about your values. This resonates particularly with younger employees and environmentally conscious customers.
In sustainability reporting, you can verify the impacts of your material choices. M1 certification guarantees indoor air quality, which supports workplace wellbeing goals. The use of recycled materials reduces waste and supports the circular economy in a measurable way. These are facts you can include in your company’s sustainability communication.
What color options and interior design trends does the Cycle Colors collection offer for corporate spaces?
The Cycle Colors collection offers a diverse color range that responds to today’s interior design trends. The collection includes several different product series such as Crumble, Cape, Chapter, Cash, Classico, and Chess, each bringing its own shades and surface textures to corporate spaces. The color palette ranges from subdued neutrals to more vibrant hues.
Current interior design trends emphasize natural shades and timeless design that suit Scandinavian design. The Cycle Colors collection’s colors support this direction while offering a responsible choice. You can create a calm and concentration-supporting atmosphere in office spaces or choose bolder colors to emphasize the company’s brand.
The modular structure of carpet tiles gives you the freedom to create patterns and visually divide spaces. You can combine different colors and patterns to create a unique look that sets your company apart. This flexibility is particularly useful in open office spaces where you want to define different zones without walls.
Color psychology affects the work environment. Calm shades support concentration, while more energetic colors can suit common areas and meeting points. The Cycle Colors collection enables the combination of these elements while making a responsible choice. Explore the color range and find suitable shades for your company.
How do Infloor’s carpet tiles work in different corporate spaces and why are they suitable for public spaces?
Infloor’s carpet tiles are excellently suited to public spaces due to their durability and practicality. The LiftBAC self-adhesive backing surface enables installation on many different floor surfaces without damaging them. This is important especially in rental spaces or historic buildings where the original floor cannot be permanently altered.
In offices, carpet tiles withstand heavy traffic and improve acoustics. In hotels, they create a comfortable atmosphere and facilitate maintenance, as individual stained tiles can be replaced quickly. In restaurants, office carpets and those for other public spaces bring warmth and reduce noise nuisances.
Infloor’s carpet tiles have excellent vapor permeability with an Sd value below 1. This means that the carpets breathe and prevent moisture accumulation. Odorless and non-allergenic properties make them safe for all users, which is important in public spaces.
The Planky modular system brings additional flexibility. You can install tiles easily and replace individual pieces as needed. This reduces maintenance costs and extends the floor’s lifespan. The water-saving technology used in the hotel module collection is an example of how Infloor continuously develops its production processes in a more environmentally friendly direction.
Why are carpet tiles a sensible choice compared to wall-to-wall carpet for commercial use?
Carpet tiles offer several practical advantages compared to wall-to-wall carpet in commercial use. Installation is faster and easier, as tiles can be installed in phases without long construction times. This reduces disruption to business operations and enables the use of spaces almost immediately.
From a maintenance perspective, carpet tiles are a clear choice. When an individual tile becomes stained or damaged, you only replace that one piece. With wall-to-wall carpet, you often have to renew a larger area or the entire carpet. This makes the lifecycle costs of carpet tiles lower in the long term.
Design flexibility is another significant advantage. You can create patterns, divide spaces with colors, and change interior design more easily than with wall-to-wall carpet. When a company grows or the office layout changes, carpet tiles adapt to the new situation. Extra tiles can be stored in a small space for future needs.
Transportation and storage are simpler with tiles. Wall-to-wall carpet requires more space and more careful handling. Carpet tiles are also a better choice for spaces where access to cables or piping running under the floor is needed. You can lift the necessary tiles and install them back without professional help.
Recyclability and sustainability favor carpet tiles. Cycle Colors collection tiles can be recycled after use, whereas wall-to-wall carpets often end up as waste. The modular structure reduces the amount of waste material already at the installation stage, as you can measure and cut more accurately.
