Another eco-friendly flooring option is cork flooring. Cork is a “green” flooring choice because the process of harvesting cork does not harm the trees and the bark grows back in a few years.

If you are wondering why Reclaimed Hardwood flooring is environmentally friendly, it is because the wood is not new wood where trees had to be harvested. Reclaimed wood comes from a variety of sources that are refinished into flooring.
