# Terrazzo Vinyl Flooring iQ Motion by Tarkett Introduces Circular, Restorable Vinyl Flooring System By Amy Duong | Published 2026-04-20 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iq-motion References: [professionals.tarkett](https://professionals.tarkett.com/en_EU/node/iq-range-commercial-homogeneous-vinyl-flooring-21927)  iQ Motion by [Tarkett](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lino-materiale) is a homogeneous vinyl flooring product developed within the brand’s iQ range and produced in Ronneby, Sweden. The material features a terrazzo-inspired surface composed of dual-sized chips set within a neutral base, available in a palette of 16 tones. It is designed for high-traffic environments including healthcare, education, and public interiors, where durability and consistent surface performance are required. The flooring is manufactured as a single-layer material, allowing it to be fully recyclable and reprocessed through Tarkett’s ReStart® take-back program. It contains an average of 25.5% recycled content, including post-use flooring, and is designed for closed-loop production. The surface can be restored in place using a dry-buffing method rather than replaced, maintaining performance over time. The system also provides resistance to scratches, stains, and chemical exposure in demanding environments.
