“I’m delighted to be joining Itec Contract Floors, becoming a part of this dynamic and progressive flooring company,” commented Ashley. “Itec has already made great strides in establishing the brand in the UK flooring industry, and I’m looking forward to introducing the quality range of products into new markets, growing brand awareness and helping to increase turnover.”

The new threshold of one bag (around 70m² of Forbo flooring off-cuts are needed to fill it) has been introduced in response to feedback and requests from participants in the scheme, which recycles Forbo’s clean installation off- cuts back into new flooring products.
Given that there is an estimated 10% wastage arising from each new flooring installation, each bag can hold enough off-cuts for a 700m² floor area. This calculation enables contractors to allow for sufficient bags to recycle off-cuts
from any project – and especially helps those who could collect this amount over a number of smaller jobs.
Back to the Floor Scheme Co-ordinator, Matt Charlton, said: “By lowering the threshold to one bag, we are facilitating greater take-up of the Back to the Floor scheme across the flooring supply chain, especially for smaller installers and retail outlets. Volumes collected from smaller projects can all go together in one bag, contributing towards overall sustainable goals.
“The lower threshold has been warmly welcomed by collectors, particularly by those with limited storage space at their premises and may have struggled to store more bags.”
Matt concluded: “Enabling collections from just one bag means even more flooring companies can join Back to the Floor, making it easier and more accessible for all.”
