The StaticWorx Green Story
StaticWorx
At StaticWorx, the flooring we provide meets all industry and safety standards applicable to the application. But performance isn’t enough. Our commitment to environmental stewardship means doing our part—by making environmentally sound choices and providing sustainable products—to help pass a healthy planet on to future generations.
Our commitment to sustainability extends beyond the recycling efforts of our paperless StaticWorx offices and the environmentally-conscious products we offer. We check the sustainability cred of partners and whenever possible work only with environmentally like-minded companies. Through our GroundSafe™ initiative, we help clients ensure the electrical safety, static-control performance, and environmental health of their worksites.

Vinyl
The manufacturing process for our FloorScore-certified conductive vinyl tile uses recycled water, and repurposes scrap and rework materials, producing next to no waste. Our vinyl tile contains no asbestos, phthalates, or other harmful additives, and is VOC free. Because routine maintenance requires only regular buffing, there are no corrosive strippers or toxic inhalants to worry about after the vinyl floor is installed.
AmeriWorx conductive vinyl tile is LEED certified and passes stringent emissions tests.
