Recycle your empty F Ball buckets

Written by jonathon bright

We can all do our bit for the environment by getting behind this campaign to recycle F Ball yellow buckets. Our showroom can take your old yellow buckets, so why not drop them off the next time you visit.

Recycle your empty F Ball buckets

F Ball & Co and Recofloor recycling scheme

Ball has teamed up with Recofloor, a nationwide vinyl take-back programme, to provide flooring contractors the ability to recycle the plastic buckets and bottles used in many of its products.

Recofloor has designated drop-off facilities at select flooring suppliers where contractors may recycle old and unused vinyl flooring. Smooth uplifted vinyl flooring is recycled into traffic control equipment including cones and sign bases, while vinyl offcuts are transformed into new vinyl floorcoverings.

Recofloor has gathered almost 4,400 tonnes of flooring (or 1,472,000 square metres) – the equivalent of 206 Wembley football pitches! It is predicted that this has resulted in a reduction of 765 tonnes of CO2 emissions from the flooring industry.

Commenting on the yellow bucket recycling scheme, F. Ball Managing Director Mark Hughes said: “Having introduced recycled/recyclable alternatives for our 5 litre bottles, which have been well received by the industry, we are now delighted to partner with Recofloor to provide a channel whereby contractors can dispose of them, as well as other recyclable F. Ball buckets and bottles, in order that they are recycled properly. If the trial is successful, we will be rolling it out nationally, so I encourage customers of participating distributors to take advantage of the service.”

We are proud that Ambiance has been selected to be a recycling point for F Ball yellow buckets.
