RECOFLOOR VINYL FLOORING RECYCLERS WIN RED LETTER
DAYS PRIZES Recofloor has named the three winners of its annual Summer Promotion, which was held throughout August to encourage more flooring companies to recycle their waste vinyl flooring through Altro and Polyflor’s scheme. The draw was streamed live on Facebook at the beginning of September.
Congratulations to MacGregor Flooring Company Ltd, Hamilton; Branagan Flooring Services, Manchester and S&D Flooring Ltd, Hull who each won a £100 Red Letter Days Gift Card to spend on an ‘unforgettable experience’ of their choosing.
Every flooring company raising a Recofloor collection throughout August and returning a minimum of either two full bulk bags or a full blue bin qualified for the prize draw. Throughout the month, a total of more than 38 tonnes
were sent for recycling – a 31% increase on July’s 26 tonnes.
Hamish MacGregor, Managing Director of MacGregor Flooring Company Ltd, commented: “It’s nice to win something for a change! I’ve always felt that recycling is the way to go and as Recofloor members, we always try to recycle vinyl flooring where we can. We have recently extended our car park to make space for recycling other materials, such as cardboard.”
Kate Branagan, Managing Director of Branagan Flooring Services said the prize had been given to their Warehouse Manager John Scott, who deals with the Recofloor
collections. She said: “I feel that he deserves it. The larger volume of collections throughout the summer months is mainly due to the large amount of school and university work we do.”
Steve Dixon, Managing Director of S&D Flooring Ltd said the prize is a great bonus for the company at the end of a busy summer. He added: “Working with Recofloor and recycling our waste vinyl flooring over the last couple of years has been great for improving our sustainability performance. We look forward to giving this prize to a hard working employee at the organisation.”

With over 70million nylon 6.6 fibres per square metre, which results in an indestructible hygienic textile floor covering, Flotex Planks was considered both modern and innovative by the judges. Moreover, the six designs from the collection were valued for their high design quality, as well as the high definition digital printing technique that is used to create the product.

innovative building projects and architectural concepts, as well as building products and interior finishes.
Janet Lowe, Head of Marketing UK & Ireland at Forbo Flooring Systems said: “We’re thrilled to have won this prestigious German award, especially after launching the collection less than a year ago. Combining the comfort of carpet, the durability of a resilient floorcovering and the design versatility of a plank format, the collection lends itself perfectly to
According to recent research, people are now spending an estimated 80- 90% of their time indoors; therefore the industry is recognising the impact creating healthy interiors can have on the wellbeing of a building’s occupants. As such, Forbo’s goal for the collection was to combine the outstanding indoor air quality performance of Flotex with surprising designs and a modular format, so users no longer have to choose between functionality and high design.
The award ceremony took place in the BMW-world showroom in Munich in October 2017.
