Consider:
What renewable floor coverings are available?
- Carpets: wool, hemp, seagrass, jute
- Bamboo
- Linoleum (largely renewable
resources)
- Sustainably-produced wood
- Cork
How rapidly and how easily
does the
resource renew itself?
Will the renewable product under consideration be durable enough to withstand the expected
traffic load?
Does the product have special installation or maintenance requirements that would
necessitate the use of more resources than other flooring options, or that have the
potential to reduce indoor air quality?
Is the product made from abundant resources that can be readily obtained with
comparatively low environmental impact?
