Are you a contractor working on flooring projects at construction sites? You could benefit from Recofloor’s convenient collection services that not only helps you save on disposal costs, but also reduces waste on site.
More than 2,880 tonnes of waste uplifted vinyl flooring and installation offcuts has been collected through Recofloor and recycled back into new products, including flooring.
Vinyl flooring from a variety of building projects, such as hospitals, schools and major housing and retail developments can be recycled through Recofloor, helping construction companies to achieve their Zero Waste targets.
Benefits of using the scheme:
- Significant savings on disposal costs
- Enhance your green credentials by gaining BREEAM points, in turn helping you to win more business
- Demonstrate your commitment to sustainability within the flooring sector
- Waste vinyl flooring offcuts can be recycled into new flooring
- Entry into the annual Recofloor Awards to recognise green excellence
- Benefit from Recofloor’s publicity and PR
Materials must be suitable for collection and can be picked up from live construction projects – just call us with your job details and we can do the rest. It’s a convenient and cost-effective service that significantly reduces waste disposal costs – by up to 70% compared to landfilling waste material. The scheme also helps with waste management plans on site.
Recofloor’s Certificates of Commitment enhance members’ sustainability credentials, helping them to attract new business, while also aiding the accrual of BREEAM credits.
Recofloor provides recycling containers – either bulk bags or bins – for the duration of the project and collections are completed by manufacturers’ vehicles during delivery rounds.
A ‘Guide to using Recofloor on Construction Sites’ explains in more detail how the scheme works and can be found on the website here. You can also browse the suite of case studies demonstrating Recofloor ‘in action’ at various building and refurbishment projects, including hospitals, schools and large retailers.
Jane Gardner, Recofloor’s Manager comments:
‘Recofloor’s collection services from live construction sites provide a genuinely sustainable, convenient and cost-saving disposal option for flooring companies, main contractors and their clients.
The scheme’s flexibility means collections can be tailored to suit individual requirements and we welcome enquiries from firms working on projects of all sizes.’
