Mannington, Texas Firm Team on VCT Recycling

Salem, NJ, July 1, 2011 -- Mannington Commercial's VCT recycling program said it has a new partnership with Texan Floor Service.

Mannington's n2 VCT program reclaims large quantities of VCT and recycles it into new flooring products.

The resulting products also include recycled drywall from renovation and demolition sites.

Texan Floor Service is a commercial flooring contractor covering markets from El Paso to North Carolina. It also claims to be Houston’s only no carpet to landfill company.

The partnership lined up with Mannington's needs, as the flooring manufacturer looks to increase the amount of recycled flooring it is incorporating into a range of products including VCT, rubber tile, wall base, carpet and resilient sheet flooring.

"During the first years of our VCT reclamation program, we took back tile from renovation sites within 500 miles of our New Jersey facilities," said Zack Zehner, Mannington's VP of commercial hard surface.

"As we have become more efficient and continue to push product development...we are increasing our ability to incorporate recycled content."

Texan Floor Service specializes in healthcare, hospitality, retail and office installations.
