Recycling

Driving the choices we make

Sustainability drives the choices we make. That is why Altro are passionate about supporting the circular economy model.

• Altro PVC-based products are 100% recyclable pre-installation
• PVC off-cuts can be recycled
• We have invested in, and installed, the world's first safety flooring recycling system
• We can recycle over 500 tonnes of factory waste PVC every year
• Altro XpressLay was the first safety floor that is 100% recyclable post-consumer – this means after it's been installed it can be rolled up and reused elsewhere and at the end of its life we can then recycle it
• We have now introduced Altro Wood adhesive-free and expanded the range in Altro Cantata providing more choice of adhesive-free, 100% recyclable and sustainable flooring
• We have reduced clapper card size sample books that helps reduce CO2 footprint and resources in production and transport
• AltroSampleWise sample return program has been introduced in North America
• We have introduced a recycling scheme for sample cards at Letchworth HQ
