| Article | Expanko began producing “green” products even before “green” was a buzzword. “We made a commitment to the environment,” stated Randy Gillespie, Senior Vice President of Sales & Marketing, “and, we intend to keep it. There is no reason why cork, rubber and other resilient floor covering materials shouldn’t be safe, recyclable and green.” In November of 2009, Reztec® recycled rubber flooring by Expanko was certified for recycled content. The certification, issued by Scientific Certification Services, a leader in certifying independent environmental claims, verified the recycled content of all patterns and colors in the standard Reztec offering. In May of 2010, XCR4 Cork Rubber Flooring® by Expanko was certified for emissions and compliance with LEED Credit EQ4.3. The certification, issued by FloorScore™, a leader in certifying independent environmental claims, verified the emissions of all patterns and colors in the XCR4 offering. FloorScore™ certified products ensure they meet stringent indoor air quality emissions requirements. In June of 2010, the winners of New York House magazine’s second annual Innovative Green Design Awards SM (IGDA) competition were announced. Expanko Cork Flooring won the award for traditional cork flooring. “We will be introducing new products on a regular basis,” added Gillespie. “And I can assure you, they will be green products. This world is a good place. Intelligently produced, recyclable products make it an even safer and healthier one.” For more information about this project and all of Expanko’s comprehensive products, simply log on to www.expanko.com.
