Join the Recofloor team at this year’s popular ‘Bacon Butty’ events where you can find out more about the UK’s award-winning vinyl flooring recycling scheme while enjoying welcome refreshments.

Founded by leading flooring manufacturers Polyflor and Altro in 2009 to divert waste material from landfill, Recofloor has 63 drop-off sites throughout the UK and Ireland at flooring distributors accepting post installation vinyl flooring off-cuts and uplifted vinyl flooring.

Roadshows have already taken place in Ireland at PFL Limerick on June 23, PFL Dublin on June 24 and Anderson Grant, Chelmsford on July 3. More roadshows are planned at Richards, Bristol tomorrow, July 10 and at Carpet & Flooring, Aberdeen on July 23.

Customers are invited to drop in, pick up their free bacon butty and learn more about how Recofloor’s services can enhance their businesses.

Benefits for 650-plus collectors across the UK include a sustainable option for end-of-life flooring, enhanced green credentials and up to 75% savings in disposal costs. Starter packs that include material specification, collection bags, a brochure and Certificate of Commitment will be provided for those interested in signing up to the scheme.

Recofloor’s Project Officer Carla Eslava commented: “Our Bacon Butty roadshows are invariably popular and create a bit of a buzz around distributors’ premises.

“This time we have chosen new locations so we can spread the message to even more people. We’re looking forward to meeting new flooring contractors and fitters and explaining how easy it is to recycle waste vinyl flooring through Recofloor. Hope to see you there!”

To date, more than 2,300 tonnes of vinyl flooring waste has been diverted from landfill through Recofloor and recycled back into new flooring or traffic management products such as cones and sign bases.
