RECOFLOOR ANNOUNCES ITS 2023 VINYL
RECYCLING AWARDS Vinyl take-back scheme Recofloor has announced the launch of its 2023 vinyl recycling awards. Showcasing members’ recycling achievements, the awards celebrate and share sustainability successes across the industry.
For 2023, there are five open categories: Contractor of the Year, Distributor of the Year, Drop-Off Site User of the Year, Project of the Year, and Recofloor Champion. These categories will be judged by the Recofloor team and representatives from scheme founders Altro and Polyflor. Companies can either enter themselves directly or nominate a member who deserves recognition.
“We’re looking for businesses who can demonstrate commitment to the scheme and show they are making a difference,” said Recofloor manager, Carla Eslava. “Large or small, every member is welcome to enter. Previous winners range from local drop-off site users to regional distributors

WORLD FIRST Immersion is the new carpet tile collection from IVC Commercial made with Thrive matter, the world’s first carbon negative carpet yarn.
Used in IVC Commercial’s new Immersion carpet tile collection, Thrive matter has the lowest emissions of any solution-dyed nylon carpet yarn, removing more CO2 from the atmosphere than it emits. Available on all three Immersion designs, it’s made from 90% recycled content and has the lightest production footprint in the world.
Immersion explores the corners of the virtual world where there are no limits, creative freedom is absolute and digital and physical personalities blend effortlessly. With textures that create a 3D effect that’s constantly in motion, the collection brings a surprising and unexpected dynamic to your design. Available in Alternate, Liberate and Animate; it comes in a shared palette of

and national contractors – it’s always inspiring to find out how people are implementing the scheme and improving their sustainability practices.”
In addition to the open categories, Recofloor has brought back the Greatest Improver Award after a two-year break. In this category, companies are awarded first, second and third place based on growth in their tonnages collected from 2021 to 2022. Gold, Silver, or Bronze award certificates will also be given to all participating companies for their recycling efforts and their tonnages collected.
Previous winners have seen significant benefits from publicity in industry media. While there is not a face-to-face awards ceremony planned for the 2023 awards, trophies, certificates and a number of special prizes for the winning companies
will be awarded to winners of the main categories (details to be confirmed).
The entry process for the awards is straightforward, requiring entrants to simply answer a short set of questions specific to the relevant category.

Examining the blurred boundaries between our digital and physical lives, Alternate’s generative high-low 3D pattern captures this incessant flux. Liberate expresses the pursuit for digital freedom through new wave technologies with electrifying and unexpected results, while gaming’s digitally constructed worlds and future-
shaped architecture are the inspiration for the dynamic and vibrant Animate.
Thrive matter is third-party certified with 1.45kg of embodied carbon emissions for every 1kg produced. This already low number is brought below zero by partnering with
