Recofloor has been recognised for its extensive waste vinyl flooring recycling work with a prestigious award in the Letsrecycle.com Awards for Excellence in Recycling & Waste Management 2016.
The unique Take Back and Recycling initiative impressed the judges for tackling a difficult waste stream with the producers’ involvement to win the Waste Management Initiative in the Commercial and Public Sector category.
On behalf of the judging panel Letsrecycle.com Editor, Steve Eminton said: “The judges were impressed that two companies within the industry had worked together to develop a collection network using reverse logistics. We hope that the scheme will thrive in the future.”
Recofloor Project Officer Carla Eslava was presented with the trophy by Liz Carroll, an Area Business Manager from Egbert Taylor Group and one of the sponsors, at the May presentation ceremony in London.
Carla commented: “We are absolutely delighted to win this award, which recognises our tremendous achievements in diverting ever-increasing quantities of flooring waste from landfill and putting this material to good new uses.
She added: “Recofloor’s success has been very much a team effort with support from Polyflor and Altro, and of course, involving the entire flooring sector supply chain.”
