The LUXUS project is a sustainable, biosourced and recycled solution that incorporates innovations across multiple layers of the product. While we are still finalizing the exact percentage of recycled content, we know it will exceed 10%, surpassing current heterogeneous sheet vinyl flooring products. The product is designed with the highest quality standards in mind, ensuring long lifespan, easy cleaning, easy installation, and recyclability. A key component of the product is calcium carbonate derived from recycled eggshells, provided by Circul’Egg. This solution is eco-friendly, offering a decarbonized, clean-label material that supports the circular economy. Additionally, the social impact is enhanced through our partnership with Plastic Bank, which helps reduce ocean plastic waste. With LUXUS, we aim to deliver a high-performance, sustainable flooring solution with both environmental and social benefits.
The LUXUS project reduces environmental impact by using recycled eggshells for calcium carbonate, cutting waste and CO2 emissions. The product’s long lifespan minimizes maintenance and replacements, offering strong economic benefits. Loose-lay installation saves time and money by eliminating glue use, making it cost-effective. The ROI is achieved quickly, with a positive payback thanks to lower labor and material costs. Full environmental and financial metrics are being calculated.
Circul’Egg’s calcium carbonate solution is a high-quality material extracted from recycled eggshells using a 100% mechanical process. This sustainable solution takes advantage of the abundant waste produced by the egg industry, transforming it into a valuable resource. The calcium carbonate is extracted from the eggshells, ensuring a clean-label product with no chemical additives. The material is naturally decarbonized and biosourced, offering an eco-friendly alternative to traditional calcium carbonate sources. It maintains excellent performance characteristics, suitable for a variety of applications in industries like paint, flooring, plastics, rubber, and more. The product is versatile and can be easily integrated into manufacturing processes without compromising quality. With its unique production process and natural origins, Circul’Egg’s calcium carbonate solution is both a sustainable and effective choice for businesses looking for high-performance, eco-conscious materials.
