Based in Chandler’s Ford, Hampshire, and Poole, Dorset, Nutland Carpet Accessories is a family-run flooring distributor supplying commercial flooring, carpets, vinyl and accessories across the South of England. Known for its excellent customer service and technical support, the company works closely with flooring professionals to provide practical solutions while promoting sustainability. Nutland is committed to reducing the environmental impact of its operations and helping customers do the same through take-back schemes run in partnership with leading manufacturers.

One of the key schemes Nutland promotes is Recofloor, the vinyl take-back and recycling scheme funded and operated by leading flooring manufacturers Altro and Polyflor.  

For Nutland, acting as a Recofloor drop-off point is about much more than collecting vinyl flooring offcuts. It is about providing a practical service that helps customers operate more sustainably while saving time, effort and money.

“Customer service is paramount to us,” says the Nutland team. “We are a family-run business and have special relationships with our customers. By providing the bins, we are helping them manage their waste management and saving them time and money by avoiding trips to local recycling centres.”

The company actively promotes the scheme through monthly newsletters, social media channels and everyday conversations with customers. Every vinyl flooring sale is an opportunity to remind contractors that a convenient recycling solution is available to them.

Over the past 17 years, Nutland has collected an impressive 164 tonnes of vinyl flooring waste, helping contractors and businesses recycle more material and reduce waste sent to landfill. Their continued commitment has earned several industry accolades, including the Recofloor Distributor of the Year Award in 2013, 2022 and now 2026, as well as the Longstanding Service Award in 2024.

The success of Nutland’s recycling efforts can be measured not only in tonnes collected, but also in the positive feedback received from customers.

Adam and Stella Ayling from Griffiths and May Carpets and Flooring, regular users of the service and with over 40 years of experience in the residential and commercial flooring industry said:

“We have worked with Nutland Carpets for as long as we can remember. Our showroom is based in Poole, just around the corner from their branch, so we use the Recofloor bins every week. We think it’s great that recycling is part of the flooring industry and are happy to encourage it more.”

Also using the drop-off point is Millgrove Construction who have a specialist division undertaking bathroom and kitchen replacements in tenanted properties and general refurbishments to void properties working closely with Abri, a housing association based in the south of England, Dan Murphy, Senior Operations Manager at Millgrove Construction, explains:

“Nutland Carpet Accessories provide us with the opportunity to recycle our used vinyl, helping the environment and preventing unnecessary waste going to landfill. We have been using their Recofloor bins for almost three years now and think it is a valuable service. Promoting sustainability in the flooring and construction industries is key to helping the planet.”
