In the material world, achieving the perfect balance between aesthetics, sustainability, durability, and affordability can be elusive. Enter Circon: not just sustainable, but beautiful, cost-effective, and a trailblazing classification of eco-conscious vinyl that redefines interiors and positively impacts the planet.

Launched at Neocon 2024 in Chicago, and honored with multiple awards for sustainable innovation and impact, Circon is more than a new wallcovering. Discover the groundbreaking technology behind Circon, its environmental benefits, our easy ordering process, and an overivew of our new Circon patterns.

Circon™: A Breakthrough in Sustainable Wallcovering

The goal of Circon was clear from the beginning: to create a durable, sustainable wallcovering at an affordable price point. This meant rethinking the production process—specifically, replacing the fossil fuels typically used in conventional vinyl with renewable alternatives. The solution? Bio-mass alternatives. The goal of replacing fossil fuel with a bio-mass alternative is to create a product with a more sustainable loop. 

Named for its rapidly renewable technology (and circularity), Circon is a brand-new solution in sustainable design—a bio-sourced, carbon-neutral, fully recyclable Type II vinyl wallcovering that delivers the same price and performance as conventional vinyl while significantly reducing its environmental footprint. This patent-pending innovation, developed in partnership with Versa Designed Surfaces, incorporates over 70% bio-based, rapidly renewable materials and is available exclusively through Momentum.

These bio-sourced components include:

• - 100% renewable wood-based feedstock from FSC-certified sustainable forestry, replacing fossil fuel-based vinyl polymers.

• - Algae-like base material, used as a filler, captures carbon during its formation, contributing to reduced emissions.

• - A proprietary bio-based backing that is 100% renewable and actively sequesters carbon during its growth, creating a closed-loop system

Altogether, Circon's bio-sourced components are engineered to reduce fossil fuel reliance and minimize carbon emissions. By selecting feedstock with high carbon capture rates and using renewable resources, Circon offsets the fossil fuels typically used in the manufacturing of conventional vinyl. Its durable, renewable design—optimized through extensive R&D—leads to a significantly lower carbon footprint, serving as a bridge toward reduced emissions and a more sustainable future.

Circon supports USGBC LEED v4.1 criteria for sustainable building practices, offering credits for materials and resources, low-emitting materials, and building product disclosure and optimization
