Eliminate all negative attributes of disposable floor coverings with polished concrete!
Check out a few of our projects that demonstrate the beauty and sustainability of modern, polished concrete.
At Global Polishing Solutions, we believe in making a positive impact on our environment and addressing the critical issue of climate change. We recognize that traditional floor coverings come with a heavy environmental cost. These traditional floor coverings include:
We are committed to offering an alternative that not only transforms your space but also supports a greener, more sustainable future. Our mission is to provide eco-conscious flooring solutions that reduce the negative impact on the planet.
Polished concrete is created by grinding and polishing the surface of concrete until it achieves a glossy finish. It emerges as the ideal flooring solution for several reasons, offering numerous benefits that make it a highly sustainable and environmentally responsible choice:
As we strive towards a greener future, it's crucial to recognize the environmental and health concerns associated with traditional commercial floor coverings. Let's explore why they are a bad fit for the planet:
The production and disposal of traditional floor coverings often involve harmful chemicals and processes that release toxins into the environment. These toxins can contaminate soil and water, posing risks to ecosystems and wildlife.
The manufacturing of traditional floor coverings, especially synthetic carpets, is energy-intensive and results in substantial greenhouse gas emissions. These emissions contribute to global warming and climate change.
Traditional floor coverings consume substantial amounts of natural resources. For instance, the production of carpets requires vast amounts of water and raw materials, depleting these resources and putting stress on ecosystems.
Traditional floor coverings are frequently discarded, adding to the immense volume of waste in landfills. This waste takes up significant landfill space annually and contributes to the long-term environmental issues associated with overflowing landfills.
Many traditional floor coverings, such as hardwood flooring, rely on deforestation. Cutting down trees for this purpose not only reduces vital forest ecosystems but also eliminates carbon-absorbing trees, exacerbating climate change.
The production and distribution of traditional floor coverings often involve long-distance transportation, which consumes large quantities of fossil fuels. This contributes to carbon emissions and pollution associated with the transportation industry.
Synthetic materials used in some floor coverings, like vinyl and synthetic rubber, are derived from crude oil. The extraction and processing of oil resources for these products deplete fossil fuels and release more greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.
The manufacturing process of traditional floor coverings releases various pollutants into the air and water, further contributing to environmental pollution and negatively impacting human health and ecosystems.
This massive amount of waste has a profound impact on our environment and overburdens our landfills.
Imagine the weight of 15 million tons – it’s equivalent to 30 billion pounds or 4 million elephants! This vast volume of flooring waste poses significant challenges when it comes to disposal and sustainable waste management.
