BACK2BOLON

Turning old Bolon into bold Bolon

Since our foundation in 1949, Bolon has worked tirelessly to combine design and sustainability. That’s why we are introducing Back2Bolon. With this initiative, your products are returned to our factory in Sweden, recycled, and reborn as new floors and rugs. This is not a journey we take alone – it’s a partnership with you. Together, we transform old into bold and prove that innovative, beautiful design is truly circular.

Everything woven, nothing wasted

With our take-back programme, we bring down CO2 levels and turn old Bolon into bold Bolon. The recycled flooring and rugs become new Bolon material. The climate and waste savings are significant, and we calculate them and issue a certificate that clearly outlines all the details.

Returning your flooring and rugs

We take back all rugs and flooring installed with non-permanent solutions from the EU and OECD countries. Rules vary between countries, but we will guide you through the process. Contact your distributor for more information on how it works in your market.

This is how it works
  1. The owner of the floor or rug contacts Bolon or their local distributor and requests a take-back of the product
  2. The owner dismantles the floor or rug and sends it to Bolon or their distributor
  3. When we receive the product, we calculate the climate and waste savings and provide you with a certificate of recognition
  4. The material is taken care of at Bolon’s own recycling facility in Ulricehamn, Sweden, where it is recycled and given a new life as new Bolon flooring

All necessary documents for the take-back process are available for download below. On our FAQ page, we have collected some of the most frequently asked questions about Back2Bolon.
