Recycling and reducing our environmental impact

We’re committed to lessening the environmental impact of installing flooring. We manufacture our flooring systems using recycled and renewable materials, and we integrate dry-adhesive technologies wherever we can to reduce pollution and flooring waste. Our focus for flooring is to improve resource efficiency.

Recycled Rubber Crumb

Flooring with a world of difference

We’re dedicated to reducing flooring waste and use recycled materials wherever we can. We manufacture our specialised rubber sports cradles and acoustic underlays from recycled vehicle tyres, which prevents thousands of worn tyres from going to landfill every year. The wooden battens we use are from FSC® certified sourced timber. As part of InstaGroup, our environmental management system is certified ISO 14001.

Reducing landfill, improving lives

InstaFloor partners with organisations in other countries to recycle old vehicle tyres and reduce landfill. In South Africa, InstaFloor SA Pty works in partnership with Van Dyck: our commitment to recycling and re-using materials is contributing to healthier lives, and preventing issues caused by tyre dumps.

Recycling worn vehicle tyres in South Africa:

  • Prevents hazardous waste and reduces landfill, reducing environmental impact.
  • Reduces deadly outbreaks of disease. Tyre dumps can become infested with rodents which spread illness. Discarded tyres also collect stagnant water, a breeding ground for mosquitoes and contagion.
  • Stops tyre fires breaking out, which can lead to black smoke, polluted air, and contaminated water courses and soil.
  • Creates local employment.
  • Produces useful new recycled products such as acoustic underlay and gym flooring.

Innovation for the environment

We are leading the way with our development of adhesive-free flooring and dry adhesive systems. These use no messy adhesives or noxious glues. They are non-toxic, contributing to healthier indoor air quality, and support resource efficiency and reduced environmental impact in flooring. Our ‘no wet glue’ solutions make re-lifting and re-using floor coverings faster and easier – and make flooring materials more recyclable.
