Bolon, the Swedish family-owned design company, celebrates 75 years of pioneering
sustainable practices in the design industry. Since its inception in 1949, Bolon has been at the
forefront of transforming waste into premium woven flooring and rugs, revolutionising the
way we perceive sustainable design.
From the outset, Bolon embarked on a mission to repurpose textile waste into stylish rag
rugs, setting the stage for decades of sustainable innovation. Today, Bolon proudly
announces a ground-breaking achievement – all products now contain an impressive 68%
waste material, with zero climate impact per square metre.
Operating from its climate-neutral factory in Ulricehamn, Sweden, Bolon has made a bold
decision to integrate sustainability into every aspect of its operations, abstaining from the
concept of a separate green collection. Instead, sustainability is ingrained in every product,
reflecting the company’s unwavering commitment to environmental stewardship.
Bolon is one of the only climate-neutral commercial flooring brands where all collections are
climate neutral without the need to offset carbon. Production is in its climate-neutral factory
in Ulricehamn, Sweden.
In 2020, Bolon set an ambitious goal to halve its climate impact and ensure that all products
contain at least 50% recycled material by 2028. Through strategic investments in talent and
technology, Bolon is proud to announce that it has surpassed this goal, offering 68% recycled
material across its entire product range.
“Sustainability has always been embedded in the DNA of the brand. With the
implementaKon of BIO-sourced PVC, recycled PVC, and recycled chalk from marble slab
producKon, we have not only exceeded our goals but also achieved zero climate impact.
This is a testament to our unwavering commitment to sustainable innovation.”
Marie Eklund, CEO and owner of Bolon
As innovators in the design industry, Bolon remains steadfast in its mission to thrill the world
with brave innovation for a sustainable design experience. With 75 years of pushing recycling
boundaries, Bolon continues to inspire change and set new standards for sustainable design
practices.
