Forbo incorporates discarded cocoa shells into Marmoleum flooring

Forbo has innovated by using discarded cocoa shells to create its Marmoleum flooring, blending sustainability with social responsibility. This eco-friendly product is made from up to 98% natural materials, including cocoa shells, which supports cacao-growing communities in West Africa. By repurposing agricultural waste, Forbo not only reduces environmental impact but also contributes to the economic development of these regions. This initiative highlights a broader trend of sustainable innovation in manufacturing, setting a precedent for other industries to follow.
