At AiNO, we believe beauty doesn't have to come at the expense of good health for humans or the planet. While designers can specify all of our wallcovering products on PVC-free substrates, we commit to having at least 50% of our SKUs sampled on a PVC-free substrate by 2024.
Our green leaf indicates wallcovering sampled on one of the PVC-Free substrates below. Any of our products can be specified on one of these grounds with no added fee. If you want one of our designs (or one of your own) on a PVC-Free Substrate, click the button below to request.

Sampling
Prioritizing and addressing the environmental impacts caused by massive sample shipments within the A&D community is foundational to AiNO and one reason we have partnered with Material Bank. We sample solely through Material Bank, where every sample order ships 100% carbon neutral.
TOTAL CARBON EMISSIONS FOR SAMPLING FROM MATERIAL BANK
- Reducing Carbon Emissions (Material Bank's sample aggregation)
+ Carbon Offset Purchase
= Carbon Neutral Sample Shipments
Why is carbon neutral shipping important to AiNO?
Material Bank has drastically reduced sample shipments, including excessive packaging waste, by aggregating samples from multiple brands into one box. In addition to this, Material Bank's sample reclamation program has allowed for unneeded samples to be reused and recycled instead of reaching landfills. Offsetting carbon emissions from sample shipments is an initiative that aligns with AiNO's environmental responsibility and continued efforts towards sampling sustainably.
How does a carbon offset work?
Offsetting carbon emissions involves calculating total carbon emissions, reducing them where possible (e.g., Material Bank's sample aggregation), and balancing the remaining emissions by purchasing a carbon offset.
Carbon Offset Credits support projects actively working to reduce, absorb, or prevent carbon and other emissions from entering the atmosphere. These projects can range from forestry conservation to technology that captures gas before it is released.
