In-Crease Your Green Credentials at Recofloor’s 2017 Awards Event
Put a spin on your waste vinyl flooring recycling achievements and celebrate the winners’ runs of success at the cricket-themed 2017 Recofloor Awards Event, to be held at London’s world- famous Oval cricket ground on March 29th 2017.
Don’t get caught out – submit your entries online at
www.recofloor.org by Friday January 27th 2017 to bat for your company in Polyflor and Altro’s national Take Back scheme.
Hosting the sixth annual awards event will be former England cricket captain, Sky Sports commentator and former team captain of the smash hit sports quiz, ‘They Think It’s All Over’, David Gower.
Delegates can expect to be ‘bowled over’ by his career anecdotes before hearing from key flooring industry speakers. The event also offers great opportunities to network, share expert knowledge and learn more about how the scheme can work for them.
Founded in 2009, Recofloor works with the entire supply chain to divert vinyl flooring waste from landfill – an impressive 3,000-plus tonnes to date
has been recycled back into new flooring and other products.
David will present trophies and certificates to Recofloor members who have excelled across nine award categories and contributed to rising volumes of vinyl flooring waste being diverted from landfill and reused.
Members can enter any of the following categories; Contractor of the Year, Distributor of the Year, Project of the Year (new category) and Drop- Off Site User of the Year. The other categories are Recofloor Champion, Greatest Improvement, Best Newcomer, Outstanding Achievement and the new Recofloor Brand Ambassador category. Plus there are the Recofloor Gold, Silver and Bronze awards, which all reward members’ commitment, contribution and achievements in 2016.
Calling on members to ‘save the date’, Recofloor Project Coordinator Carla Eslava commented: “Our Annual Awards event is always popular and we’re going all out to make our 2017 one the biggest yet, so I’m hoping the level of entries will ‘bowl this maiden over’!”
Recofloor has 700-plus collectors and more than 60 drop-off sites across the UK and Ireland.
