Recofloor Vinyl Flooring Take-Back Scheme Service

Flooring manufacturers Altro and Polyflor are founding and funding members of the vinyl flooring take-back scheme Recofloor. Waste vinyl flooring collected under the scheme is diverted from landfill and recycled.

The scheme accepts uplifted vinyl flooring and post-installation off-cuts. Vinyl flooring material is collected in bags and either picked up by Recofloor or dropped off at any participating flooring distributor or Recofloor drop-off site, located across the UK.

The recycled flooring is either used to manufacture new flooring or used to make traffic management products such as traffic cones and road sign bases.

The scheme is managed by Axion Consulting Ltd, experts in resource recovery.
