Daiken Industries Unveils New Eco-Friendly Flooring
In a significant move towards promoting sustainable living, Daiken Industries, located in Osaka, is launching its latest WPC flooring product,
'Geora Standard' on June 23. This innovative flooring material utilizes the environmentally friendly base
'E-Hard Base', demonstrating the company's unwavering commitment to reducing environmental impact while providing high-quality, durable flooring solutions.
Background of Sustainability Initiatives
Since its inception in 1945, Daiken Industries has remained devoted to contributing towards a sustainable society. In line with its sustainability goals, the company established the
'DAIKEN Global Environmental Vision 2050' in 2021, which emphasizes long-term strategies to mitigate environmental challenges. A key focus is promoting sustainable wood procurement, ensuring that resources are managed responsibly and ethically.
Over the years, Daiken has progressively transitioned its primary flooring materials to eco-friendly bases, with a significant portion of residential flooring now utilizing their unique
'E-Hard Base' technology. Previously, the company relied on
'W-Hard Base' – a flooring base constructed with layered plywood to provide strength. However, Daiken is in the process of transitioning to
'E-Hard Base' for its WPC flooring range too, ensuring durability and environmental integrity.
