This award symbolically explores the systemic cost of plastic-based resilient flooring and introduces how Ted Todd Group archive materials have informed a new generation of circular surface design through Karta Plated® and the award-winning recycled leather flooring format. It outlines a responsibly engineered approach to manufacturing, raw material sourcing and waste diversion, from leather offcuts to timber and cork harvested without deforestation. This award reinforces that durability, authenticity and environmental impact reduction can be designed into a unified specification for workplaces, hospitality and contemporary homes, while inviting sample requests and project enquiries.
