  • Publication number: 20250223802
    Abstract: Single-layered and multi-layered polymer-based flooring products are provided, which are formulated and constructed in such a manner as to render the products susceptible to biodegradation under controlled anaerobic conditions. More particularly, the polymer-based flooring products may contain a biodegradable additive that enhances the susceptibility of the thermoplastic polymer in the flooring product to anaerobic biodegradation. Thus, the resulting flooring products are environmentally-friendly and can naturally degrade in landfill conditions over time.
