RECOFLOOR’S ANNUAL AWARDS EVENT KICKS OFF
THIS SPRING Recofloor, the UK’s award-winning vinyl flooring recycling scheme founded by Polyflor and Altro, will be recognising its members’ achievements at the fifth annual awards event to be held on March 3 2016 at Old Trafford, the Home of Manchester United.
The event will be hosted by Matt Le Tissier, the former Southampton and England footballer who is now the star of Sky Sports’ Gillette Soccer Saturday and a columnist for
skysports.com.
Matt will kick off proceedings with anecdotes from his sporting career before introducing key speakers from the flooring industry. Delegates will hear how the scheme, founded in 2009, works with the supply chain to divert vinyl flooring waste from landfill with more than 2,700 tonnes to date.
Material collected by Recofloor’s 650- plus membership is recycled back into products, including new flooring, which benefits the environment and can reduce collectors’ waste disposal costs by up to 70%.
Matt will present trophies and certificates to Recofloor members who have excelled across eight award categories and contributed to increasing volumes of vinyl flooring waste being diverted from landfill.
