FeRFA RECYCLING SCHEME

FeRFA’s scheme is a major initiative to bring contractors and manufacturers together in a recycling programme for waste packaging.  As resin flooring is laid in situ, with minimal material waste produced on site, packaging waste has been identified as the major waste stream.  Under the recycling and waste management scheme, waste packaging (hazardous and non hazardous) is collected, decontaminated and reprocessed for future use, with up to 100% of waste being recycled.

 

HALVING WASTE TO LANDFILL COMMITMENT

FeRFA has adopted a resource efficiency plan which commits to:

  • Increase the level of waste packaging being recycled within the resin flooring industry
  • reduce year on year the level of all waste streams being sent to landfill – working towards “Zero Waste to Landfill”
  • Actively promote the use of recycled materials.
  • Raise awareness of environmental issues and provide guidance and training to increase knowledge and share best practice.

To achieve the above, FeRFA has introduced a recycling and waste management scheme, whereby waste packaging (hazardous and non hazardous) is collected, decontaminated and reprocessed for future use, with up to 100% of waste being recycled.
