Bona is participating in the STEPS (Sustainable Plastics and Transition Pathways) initiative headed by Lund University – a MISTRA (The Swedish Foundation for Strategic Environmental Research) funded project where one of the objectives are to develop plastics based on bio-raw materials in one form or another.

A new Bona Center has opened in Aix-En-Provence- the first of its kind in terms of new look and feel.

“From start-to-finish this project was all about community and giving back,” said Fred Beach, Owner, City Floor Supply. “Bona donated product, the union volunteered time and skills, and Dove Lin and City Floor offered our project management and expertise. It was a team effort with one focus – creating a safe, welcoming place for kids in the community.”
