It is available in an attractive palette of 12 solidthrough colors in a 4 width.* Forbo Flooring Systems was awarded the Sustainable Materials Rating Technology (SMaRT ) Sustainable Platinum Certification for Marmoleum and Bulletin Board products. The SMaRT Consensus Sustainable Product Standards (CSPS) were developed by The Institute for Market Transformation to Sustainability (MTS) to evaluate the environmental performance of a building product over its life. CSPS is important in combating today s climate of greenwashing, as it is an independently done, peer reviewed, consensus based standard that allows for transparent communication. Forbo s Marmoleum and Bulletin Board products achieved credit towards Sustainable Platinum level certification in the following categories: Safe for Public Health & Environment, Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency, Biobased or Recycled Materials, Innovation in Manufacturing, Facility or Company Based Manufacturing, and Reclamation, Sustainable Reuse or End of Life Management.
