Greenovations: Capri Cork – Re-Tire Recycled-Rubber Flooring

Made from recycled automobile tires, a number of Capri Cork Re-Tire recycled-rubber flooring offerings contain more than 70% post-consumer recycled content.

For example, the Shades of Black line is composed of 72% post-consumer and 6% pre-consumer recycled rubber, whereas the After Dark line contains a whopping 90% post-consumer recycled rubber content.

According to GreenSpec, “Re-Tire is FloorScore certified for indoor air quality and contains no PVC, plasticizers, halogens, EPA chemicals of concern, or Living Building Challenge red list materials.”

Capri Cork recommends the use of low- or zero-VOC adhesives and coatings to further improve its indoor air quality characteristics, and they provide a 10-year warranty on all their Re-Tire recycled-rubber flooring offerings, which makes them a flooring product you should remember.
