Recycled Material SPC Flooring: Sustainable and Durable

SPC (Stone Plastic Composite) flooring incorporating recycled materials is an eco-friendly alternative to traditional flooring, combining sustainability with the core benefits of SPC (waterproofing, durability, and ease of installation). Below are its key aspects:

 

1. Composition & Recycled Content

Core Structure: SPC floors are typically made of limestone powder (6070%), PVC resin, and stabilizers. Some manufacturers integrate recycled PVC or post-industrial stone composites into the core to reduce waste .

 

2. Environmental Benefits

Reduced Waste: Recycled SPC floors repurpose materials like PVC scraps or stone dust from other industries, aligning with circular economy principles .

 

Energy Efficiency: Production processes for recycled SPC require less energy compared to virgin materials, as noted by Jordan Floors analysis of SPCs low-carbon manufacturing .

 

Recyclability: SPC floors themselves are 100% recyclable, with some manufacturers offering take-back programs .

 

3. Performance Advantages

Waterproof & Durable: Like conventional SPC, recycled versions retain high density (1.92 tons/m³) and resistance to moisture, termites, and scratches .

 

Fire Resistance: Many recycled SPC products achieve B1 fire ratings (self-extinguishing) due to PVCs inherent properties .

 

Lightweight: Despite recycled content, the floors remain lighter than ceramic tiles, reducing transportation emissions .

 

4. Applications

Residential: Ideal for kitchens, basements, and bathrooms due to waterproofing .

 

Commercial: Used in offices and retail spaces for its durability and noise reduction (sound absorption up to 30%)
