The eco-friendly origins of Terrazzo® date back to 15th century Italy, where Venetian marble workers repurposed leftover materials to create stunning Terrazzo® floors, making it one of the earliest “green” flooring systems. This longstanding commitment to sustainability continues today with Terrazzo®’s use of recycled materials and zero-VOC resins, aligning with modern environmental standards.
In the Middle East, where sustainability is increasingly vital in construction, epoxy Terrazzo® stands out as a durable, aesthetically versatile, and eco-conscious flooring option. Its adaptability to extreme temperatures and ability to withstand heavy use make it an ideal solution for both contemporary new builds and large-scale renovation projects in the region.
Beyond its visual appeal and design flexibility, epoxy Terrazzo® offers long-term cost efficiency due to minimal maintenance requirements and an extended lifecycle. By prioritizing sustainability, Terrazzo® helps reduce the environmental footprint, making it a favored choice for architects, designers, and developers in the Middle East seeking to integrate eco-friendly solutions into their projects.
A finished Terrazzo® floor poses no health risks, providing an odorless, VOC-free, and bacteria-resistant surface that requires minimal maintenance without harsh chemicals.
Terrazzo® is a top-performing material, designed to withstand heavy foot traffic. With proper maintenance, it can last for decades, resulting in lower lifecycle costs compared to other flooring options.
Terrazzo® serves as a one-stop shop for Terrazzo® materials, offering cost-effective solutions while minimizing waste and reducing transportation emissions.
Terrazzo® often incorporates recycled content and can be efficiently recycled at the end of its long lifespan, significantly reducing waste sent to landfills.
At TERRAZZO® Brands, we are committed to providing our customers with high-quality, environmentally friendly products designed to endure over time.

One of the most effective ways to earn LEED points is by incorporating recycled materials into a Terrazzo® floor. Common sources of recycled content include aggregates such as recycled glass from post-consumer items like mirrors, bottles, and containers. Marble and granite quarries also supply post-industrial marble and granite chips for Terrazzo® projects. Other sources include recycled porcelain and concrete, with new plastic chips containing up to 20% recycled plastic material.
Designers can also incorporate aluminum divider strips, which contain a significant amount of recycled material, to manage joints and color transitions in a Terrazzo® floor. If an underbed is used, the steel reinforcement may include recycled content as well, and cement in cementitious Terrazzo® projects can also contain recycled materials.
Manufacturers, suppliers, and distributors of Terrazzo® materials are strategically located across the United States. LEED points can be obtained when materials are sourced within a 500-mile radius of the project site. Terrazzo® is often manufactured on-site, minimizing post-consumer commercial waste and reducing transportation costs. Regionally sourced materials for sustainable architecture projects can include epoxy resins, aggregates, divider strips, and sealers.
