What's in it? Where's
it from?
Linseed oil, the main ingredient in linoleum,
is produced from the flax plant. Also the source of linen,
flax is easy to cultivate and in abundant supply.
The wood flour is obtained by controlled forestry,
including the planting of special forests in Europe. No tropical
hardwoods are ever used.
Pine rosin is mixed with the oxidized linseed
oil to produce a flexible binder. This rosin is obtained without
disturbing the tree's growth.
The backing used for linoleum is made from spun
jute fiber, grown primarily in India and Bangladesh, providing
real economic contributions to these developing countries.
Jute is a renewable resource.
