Mondo Rubber Flooring
Products including Mondo Carpet and MondoTurf are low maintenance, easy to recycle for applications such as highway construction, flooring and landscaping and compliant with the California Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) section 01350. They are free of PVC, halogen, CFCs, plasticizers, chlorine, heavy metals, asbestos and alloyed chemicals, and make excellent alternatives to products made from PVC and polycarbonate. Inherently antibacterial, Mondo’s flooring does not require the addition of synthetic components that are both toxic and environmentally harmful. They release almost no fumes (off-gassing) or VOCs (VOC compliance ASTM D 5116). Mondo's MP 500 non-toxic, water-based acrylic adhesive falls well below VOC limits. All Mondo adhesives meet SCAQMD regulations of content for VOCs. Mondo's products contribute to numerous LEED points including:
Materials and Resources
- Credit 4.1—Recycled content: 5%
- Credit 4.2—Recycled content: 10%
- Credit 5.1—Regional materials
- Credit 6 —Rapidly renewable materials
Indoor Environmental Quality
- Credit 4.1—Low-emitting materials: adhesives and sealants
Dodge-Regupol Rolled Rubber Floor
Dodge-Regupol, Inc. has earned ISO 9001:2000 Registration from QMI™ Management Systems Registration for the following products.
Everlast Rubber Floors
Meets or exceeds two of six criteria for LEED NC, and can assist in gaining up to seven points towards LEED Certification in the following areas:
- Materials & Resources Construction Waste Management MR 2.11
Recycle and/or salvage at least 50% of non-hazardous construction and demolition debris. Develop and implement a construction waste management plan that, minimally, identifies materials to be diverted from disposal and if that waste well be sorted on-site or commingled. Calculations can be done by weight or volume, but must be consistent throughout. - Construction Waste Management MR 2.2 1
Recycle and salvage an additional 25% beyond MR 2.1 (75% total) of non-hazardous construction and demolition debris. - Recycled Content MR 4.1 1
Uses materials with recycled content so that the sum of post-consumer recycled content plus one half (the value of) the pre-consumer content constitutes at least 10% of the total value of the project’s materials. - Recycled Content MR 4.2 1
Uses materials with recycled content such that the sum of post-consumer recycled content plus one half (the value of) the pre-consumer content constitutes at least 20% of the total value of the project’s materials. - Local/Regional Materials MR 5.1 1
Uses building materials or products extracted, harvested or recovered, as well as manufactured, within 500 miles of the project site for a minimum of 10 % (based on cost) of the total material value. If only a fraction of a product or material is extracted/harvested/recovered and manufactured locally, then only that percentage (by weight) shall contribute to regional value. - Local/Regional MR 5.2 1
Same as MR 5.1 1 but with a minimum of 20% of the total material value. - Indoor Environmental Quality Low-Emitting Materials EQ 4.1 1
Adhesives and sealants must be lower than the current VOC content limits of South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) Rule #1168.
EVERLAST Performance Flooring is comprised of shredded and cleaned SBR tire rubber (100% post-consumer waste)and colorful EPDM flecks (30% pre-consumer waste). The result—a polymerically bound floor with very high-recycled content. Note that color choice determines the percentage of recycled content (varies between 70.3% to 90.63%). EGrip glue is a low VOC 50% lower VOC than the most demanding US standard (SCAQMD Rule #1168).
