When it comes to creating commercial spaces that are both functional and inspiring, sustainability is no longer an afterthought. Armstrong Flooring is proud to be leading the way, and in 2025, this commitment was formally recognised when we were honoured at the Kingston Sustainable Business Awards.
The awards celebrate local businesses demonstrating innovation, leadership, and environmental responsibility. With 27 finalists across six categories - including waste reduction, product innovation, and the journey towards net zero - the event was a showcase of Kingston’s forward-thinking business community. From using local suppliers to minimising waste and fostering community connection, the evening itself reflected the values these awards stand for.
Leading the Way in Waste Reduction and Recycling
Armstrong Flooring was honoured with the Waste Reduction and Recycling Solutions award, recognising our innovative approach to sustainable manufacturing. Based in Braeside, we are proud to be Australia’s only commercial sheet vinyl flooring manufacturer, and this award reflects our dedication to product stewardship, lifecycle thinking, and circular design principles.
From reducing paper usage across our operations to exploring collaborative, industry-wide recycling initiatives, our commitment goes beyond compliance. At Armstrong Flooring, sustainability isn’t just a goal - it’s a mindset that drives meaningful change and sets a new standard for responsible manufacturing in Australia.
Designing Commercial Spaces with Sustainability in Mind
Sustainability doesn’t stop at manufacturing - it’s also about how spaces are designed and experienced. In commercial environments, every choice - from flooring materials and finishes to colour palettes and layouts - can influence environmental impact and the wellbeing of occupants.
Our flooring solutions are designed with this in mind. By combining recycled materials, low-VOC adhesives, and long-lasting finishes, Armstrong Flooring enables architects and designers to create spaces that are not only visually appealing but also environmentally responsible. Offices, healthcare facilities, retail spaces, and educational environments all benefit from durable, sustainable flooring that contributes to a positive experience for everyone who uses the space.
Sustainable design also subtly guides behaviour. Thoughtful use of colour, texture, and layout can define collaborative zones, direct traffic flow, and enhance comfort - all while maintaining a low environmental footprint. It’s about making spaces that look great, perform well, and do good for the planet.
Committing to a Better Future
At Armstrong Flooring, sustainability is embedded in our business philosophy. Recognition at the Kingston Sustainable Business Awards reinforces our belief that it’s possible to balance business success with environmental responsibility.
We’re proud of our team, our partners, and our innovative approach that continues to set a new benchmark for flooring in Australia. Discover how we’re turning everyday spaces into responsible, inspiring environments - one floor at a time.
