How important are ecological factors in production? nora® rubber floor coverings are manufactured in state of the art production plants. As the leading innovator in the manufacture of rubber floor coverings, nora systems places great emphasis on environmentally compatible and conservational manufacturing methods. The production process uses only the absolute necessary amount of energy, obtained with high efficiency through the combined heat and power principle. The cooling water required for the production process is re-circulated, thus reducing to a minimum the volume of fresh water consumed. Production scraps are recycled into usable materials within the plant and returned to the production process. Proper selection of the raw materials and precise processing in the manufacture of nora® floor coverings ensure that no harmful emissions are given off to employees or the environment in spite of processing temperatures exceeding 170°C/338°F. The production process is subject to regular emissions checks using special analytical procedures. State of the art process engineering guarantees the recognized top quality of nora® rubber floor coverings.
