What Is Recycled Rubber Flooring?
Recycled rubber flooring is a product that’s been made with reused rubber. Often that rubber is from old truck tires that are reground and then made into flooring.Using recycled materials has important implications. WIth nearly 260 million tires being discarded every year, any effort to reuse those tires can help to minimize the number that end up in landfills.
These recycled rubber products give old tires a new life, and they’re just as durable as a rubber flooring product made out of newly sourced materials.
By choosing flooring products made with recycled materials, your project may qualify for LEED points, too.
Don’t forget that using recycled elements can be a valuable marketing point for your business.
Highlighting your eco-friendly approach in your construction may help you to connect with and appeal to customers who are looking for sustainability-conscious businesses.
