Most of the finished floors in our home will be polished concrete, which is an Environmentally Preferred Product (EPP) both because of its recycled content - flyash, a byproduct of coal combustion that can replace some of the high-embodied-energy Portland cement in concrete - and because it is a hard flooring surface that doesn't trap or absorb pollutants the way some flooring treatments can.
