Recofloor Vinyl Flooring Recycling Scheme Wins Award for Excellence

Worcester, UK, May 31, 2016—Recofloor has been recognized for its extensive waste vinyl flooring recycling work with a prestigious award in the Letsrecycle.com Awards for Excellence in Recycling & Waste Management 2016.

The unique Take Back and Recycling initiative, founded in 2009 by UK flooring manufacturers Altro and Polyflor, impressed the judges for tackling a difficult waste stream with the producers’ involvement to win the Waste Management Initiative in the Commercial and Public Sector category.

Recofloor engages with all levels of the flooring supply chain, offering cost-effective collections of uplifted vinyl flooring and installation off-cuts to contractors and fitters across the UK and Ireland with significant waste disposal cost savings.

Waste vinyl is diverted from landfill and recycled back into new products, including flooring – around 2,900 tons to date.
