Eco-friendly flooring is a rising trend as the “green” building industry flourishes. Importers can make the most of the trend if they know which trendy flooring type to source.
Here are some of the most popular environment-friendly flooring, according to interior design and architecture site Freshome, that have matching products on GlobalSources.com:

Bamboo – This kind of flooring is sustainable and going mainstream. Bamboo is light, has many grain colors and grows quickly. Bamboo flooring from Global Sources suppliers come in different hues.

Cork – Cork comes from barks that can grow again three years after being cut. Freshome says cork flooring has a life span of 10 to 30 years. Cork flooring on Global Sources also lasts long due to thermal resistance.

Rubber – Rubber is nonslip. Besides in gyms, this flooring type is also now found in the home, per Freshome. Rubber flooring from Global Sources suppliers are not only nonslip, they are heat- and water-resistant.

Reclaimed hardwood – "Reclaimed" means it is from existing chopped wood. There are plenty of hardwood flooring out in the market so how do buyers know if it is reclaimed? Based on a DIY Network article about reclaimed hardwood flooring, it is still best to contact the supplier and inspect the product personally.
