Excellent quality
The CLASSEN Group committed itself to the environmental issue much earlier than its competitors. The most important aspect in the development of the material CERAMIN was and is its sustainability. The product is made from recycled materials and is therefore 100% recyclable. Harmful substances such as PVC or phthalates are deliberately avoided and healthy alternatives are used - officially certified by the Blue Angel.
The wall and floor coverings made of CERAMIN are high-quality, robust and durable with a life cycle of up to 20 years. As a technology leader in the sustainable flooring industry, the CLASSEN Group sets new standards with its products in terms of recyclability and circular economy. Added to this is the climate-friendly production and the transparent supply chain, which places particular emphasis on suppliers from Germany and Europe. Taken together, all these aspects fully convinced the expert jury of the Green Collection Award.
