Using eco-friendly flooring not only helps decrease your carbon footprint but also provides a flooring option that can stand the test of time.

Benefits of sustainable flooring/eco-friendly flooring

• Increased life span – Due to the nature of PVC interlocking floor tiles, they are incredibly hard-wearing and durable. They are able to withstand the day-to-day footfall or machinery usage in any workplace
• Eco-Friendly manufacturing process – What makes the R-Tile interlocking PVC floor tiles eco-friendly is that they are manufactured using either virgin or recycled plastic.
• No unnecessary waste – Interlocking floor tiles are designed to overlay existing floors, which means there is no waste incinerated or taken to landfills. There is also zero wastage during the manufacture of R-Tile, as any excess material or rejected tiles are recycled and then converted into 100% recycled black floor tiles.
• 100% recyclable and 100% re-usable – Increasingly, people are keen to see their flooring recycled at the end of its life. This is not normally an option for most flooring materials, as the waste is either incinerated or sent to landfills. However, by choosing an eco-friendly flooring solution like R-Tile,  you are using flooring tiles that are 100% recyclable and reusable.
• Hassle-free – We all have the responsibility of looking after the environment, so we want to make it as easy as possible. At R-Tek, our sustainable solution means that we will come to your site, collect your floor tiles and recycle them.
