Material collected by Recofloors 620-plus membership is recycled back into products, such as new flooring and traffic calming products, which benefits

the environment and significantly reduces collectors waste disposal costs.

Carla Eslava from Recofloor explains: Our members eagerly look forward to the Recofloor Awards event where they can network, share expert knowledge, learn more about the scheme and, of course, celebrate their achievements together. We are looking forward to welcoming both existing and potential new members on the day, so please put the date in your diary.

2,000 tonnes recycled

Thanks to the entire flooring supply chain, from the two leading manufacturers and distributors to contractors and fitters, Recofloor continues to go from strength to strength.

Since its 2009 inception, Recofloor has collected well over 2,000 tonnes of smooth offcuts, smooth uplifted vinyl and safety offcuts for recycling into new products.
