Specifiers love choice until submittals start slowing the job. Here is how To Market Environmental Flooring stacks up on breadth of products and the EPDs that help those products get picked faster and with less friction.

Who they are

To Market Environmental Flooring designs and sells commercial flooring focused on recycled content and coordinated palettes, active since 1998 across corporate, retail, healthcare, senior living, education, sports and labs. Their site outlines a clear sustainability stance and portfolio overview on the About page (To Market About, n.d.).

What they sell, in plain sight

Three core families show up again and again on their site: Atmosphere recycled rubber tiles and rolls, OzoGrip loose lay LVT planks and tiles, and Urban LVT lines plus Unicork cork tiles. Counting colorways and sizes, the catalog runs into the hundreds of SKUs, not a tiny boutique line.

Current EPD picture

As of November 21, 2025, To Market shows very limited current EPD coverage. We see an active, third‑party verified Type III EPD for recycled rubber flooring that covers multiple Atmosphere collections, and several older declarations appear to have expired. That is normal in flooring, since program operators typically issue EPDs with a five‑year validity window before renewal is needed (UL Solutions, 2025) (UL Solutions, 2025).

Where the gaps likely sit

Rubber is covered. Large swaths of LVT are not. A flagship range like OzoGrip Loose Lay LVT, plus Urban 12, 20 and 28 LVT, do not show To Market‑branded, publicly posted EPDs today. That leaves a hole in education, healthcare and office specs where teams prefer products with Type III EPDs to avoid conservative default values in carbon accounting.

Why that matters on bids

EPDs reduce friction for owners and design teams chasing sustainability goals and portfolio reporting. On credit frameworks like LEED, third‑party EPDs are a recognized path to materials points, which means products with them get a cleaner runway during submittals. Without an EPD, a product can still win, yet it must fight through extra justifications that slow people down.

Head‑to‑head reality check

If a spec calls for loose lay or dryback LVT with an EPD, the shortlist often includes names like Interface, Shaw Contract and Tarkett. Each has currently published Type III EPDs for key resilient platforms in the US market. In rubber, Ecore frequently appears with category‑wide coverage. If OzoGrip is the desired aesthetic or install method and the project mandates EPDs, the competitor with a published declaration is more likely to stick in the spec. That is the quiet commercial tax of waiting.

A concrete example to watch

OzoGrip Loose Lay LVT is featured prominently on To Market’s home and collection pages, which suggests significant commercial push. Yet we do not find a To Market EPD for OzoGrip. On similar use cases, Interface lists LVT collections with EPDs, and Shaw Contract does the same for LVT, so owners get an apples‑to‑apples submittal path. To Market can absolutely close this, and quickly.

How to close the gap without chaos

Think portfolio, not one‑off. Most flooring PCRs allow families and platforms to be grouped under one declaration when rules match. A smart LCA plan will:

  • Map platforms first, then colorways, so the EPD covers the broadest sellable set.
  • Pick the right PCR and operator for the intended markets, for example Flooring Part B at SCS, UL, IBU or EPD International, then lock a reference year for utility and production data.
  • Minimize staff burden by having your LCA partner run white‑glove data collection across plants and suppliers, not your product managers. That keeps engineering on product and still delivers a compliant, verifiable EPD set on a tight timeline.

Done well, that turns dozens of LVT SKUs from “maybe” into “spec‑ready” with one coordinated submittal package. And since EPDs typically renew on a five‑year cycle, the effort amortizes across many bids and seasons (UL Solutions, 2025).

Competitors you will meet in the wild

In resilient and modular categories you will frequently compete with Interface, Shaw Contract, Tarkett, Forbo and Gerflor. In recycled rubber, Ecore shows up often. These brands maintain broad EPD portfolios, which is why they are sticky in healthcare and education standards. To Market’s rubber is in the game, LVT needs to catch up.

Quick take

To Market is a focused multi‑category player, not a single‑product pure play. Rubber is covered by an active EPD, LVT and cork appear uncovered, and the catalog size suggests meaningful upside once EPDs are added. If you are leading product or marketing, the fastest route is a portfolio EPD plan that batches OzoGrip and Urban lines, publishes once, and unlocks more bids. That is the difference between being requested and being required. And it is definately within reach.
