About This Item
TS EN 17861 is a terminology standard for the flooring sector that defines terms related to circular economy. It establishes a common vocabulary for resilient, textile, laminate and modular mechanical locked floor coverings, helping different stakeholders use concepts such as reuse, recycling, recovery, repair and material circularity in a consistent way.
Why common circular-economy vocabulary matters for flooring
In technical documentation, procurement, environmental reporting and supply-chain communication, terminology needs to be precise. In flooring, the same word can mean different things depending on the product family, because resilient coverings, textile coverings, laminate systems and mechanically locked modular products differ in structure, installation and disassembly behaviour. In general technical context, clear definitions support more consistent discussion of recyclability, separability and the ability to return materials to a useful stream.
The value of this standard lies in defining the concepts used when talking about circular economy in this product area. It provides a shared linguistic framework for topics such as waste reduction, resource efficiency and extending product life. The standard focuses on the terminology for the flooring families named in its title, giving the sector a common reference language for circularity-related communication.
