Leading vinyl take back scheme, Recofloor, has been celebrating 15 years of successful recycling. Launched in 2009 as a collaborative initiated by manufacturers Altro and Polyflor, Recofloor collects both offcuts and uplifted vinyl for recycling.
Over 13 years of participating in the Recofloor scheme has helped Cornwall Carpets & Flooring Ltd (trading as CorFloors) to embrace sustainability as a core value and implement several initiatives to minimise its environmental impact.
Faced with the logistical challenges of waste disposal for a flooring project at the heart of a busy hospital, contractors Lees Heginbotham found Recofloor bins to be the perfect solution.
More than 7,000 tonnes of waste vinyl flooring have been collected and recycled through Recofloor since the scheme was founded by Altro and Polyflor in 2009.
Waste vinyl collection and recycling scheme Recofloor announces that its 2024 annual awards are now open for entry. Funded by Altro and Polyflor, the Recofloor awards showcase the leading role played by scheme members in improving waste vinyl disposal practices.
Recofloor hosted several pop-up visits and trade events at flooring distributors during summer 2023, which provided an excellent opportunity to introduce how the waste vinyl flooring collection scheme works.
Recycling initiatives like Recofloor offer a simple yet effective solution to reduce waste generated from project sites and contribute to a greener environment.
