Gerflor Supports the environment!

As a vinyl flooring specialist and member of the UK Resilient Flooring Association, Gerflor is supporting Recovinyl, a European-based initiative which aims to increase the recycling of previously used PVC materials. The scheme, which is being operated by Axion Ltd, offers free collection of PVC flooring from installations across the UK and Gerflor is actively promoting the scheme amongst the trade in order to boost the economic viability of the scheme.

Hazel Cook, Marketing Manager at Gerflor comments, “PVC is easily recycled and makes a sustainable alternative to other seemingly natural floorcoverings, the key is to ensure that every scrap of PVC flooring waste is recycled. By offering free collections from site the scheme aims to produce a win, win situation for all concerned.”

During the six-month trial period all offcuts and uplifted PVC flooring will aim to be collected. This excludes linoleum, rubber and any material not manufactured from pure PVC.
