Armstrong Recycling Program Recognized in LA

Lancaster, PA, June 19, 2015 -- Armstrong Commercial Flooring said it has received the 2015 Los Angeles Green Leadership Award for its floor recycling program and waste reduction initiatives.

The program is the first to recycle installed Armstrong vinyl composition tile flooring products as well as luxury vinyl tile and other vinyl flooring products.

The flooring is recycled in a closed-loop, post-consumer stream with reclaimed material incorporated into new flooring products.

In 2014, the Armstrong South Gate, California facility recycled over 450 tons of reclaimed materials, including 50 tons from the state of California, the company said. In addition, the facility was able to eliminate all process waste from going to the landfill, making it a zero process waste facility.
