Recofloor Awards Event To Be Hosted by Soccer Star Matt Le Tissier

Old Trafford, UK, December 10, 2015—Recofloor will be recognising its members’ achievements at the fifth annual awards event to be held on March 3, 2016 at Old Trafford, England, the Home of Manchester United.

The event will be hosted by Matt Le Tissier, the former Southampton and England footballer who is now the star of Sky Sports’ Gillette Soccer Saturday and a columnist for skysports.com.

Delegates will hear how the scheme, founded in 2009 by leading flooring manufacturers Polyflor and Altro, works with the supply chain to divert vinyl flooring waste from landfill, more than 2,700 tons to date.

Material collected by Recofloor’s 650-plus membership is recycled back into products, including new flooring, which benefits the environment and can reduce collectors’ waste disposal costs by up to 70%.
