Since 2002, DINOFLEX® has been collecting not only consumer building waste from construction projects but also post manufacturing waste from the manufacturing of indoor flooring. This material is collected, sent through the Re-Grind program and used in different products. Kevin Manke, Production Manager with DINOFLEX® says that in a day from post manufacturing waste alone, 1600 kg of the collected material is reground and then either put back into production or stored in re-usable totes to be used during another run. He estimates that 800,000 kgs of regrind has been saved from the landfill! And that's just in DINOFLEX's post manufacturing waste!

Post installation waste can also be sent back for regrinding, as can post consumer rubber flooring. At DINOFLEX, this practice has been standard, again since 2002. "The material needs to be free of contaminates - glue, rocks, etc.", says Kevin. Once reground, the result is a multi-colored recycled rubber crumb. Because the process combines so many different tile types and colors, this crumb is used a lot in products that are not seen, like the bases of the outdoor NuVista tiles. Other products that use this crumb are wheel chocks, RV risers and underlay.
