At RJ Commercial Flooring, we believe that exceptional flooring solutions shouldn’t come at the cost of the environment. That’s why sustainability is a core pillar of our operation — not just a buzzword. From recycling materials to reducing product turnover, we take deliberate steps to reduce our carbon footprint and help our clients do the same.
Each year, RJ Commercial Flooring recycles more than 130,000 lbs of used carpet, helping keep thousands of square feet of material out of local landfills. This includes both carpet tiles and broadloom carpeting, which are carefully sorted and sent to certified recycling facilities.
And the best part?
This service comes at no extra cost to our customers. It’s part of our commitment to providing flooring solutions that are better for your building and better for the planet.
We specialize in solutions for every area of campus life:
What once covered your floors can now support sustainability in homes, offices, and vehicles across the country.
When nylon-based carpets are recycled, they’re carefully processed into three key components:
Typically used in carpet backing, it’s reused in injection-molded products like storage bins and automotive parts.
A stabilizer in carpets, it’s reclaimed and used in road construction and concrete mixtures.
One of the most versatile fibers, it’s regenerated to produce new yarn that’s used in carpet, clothing, furniture, and more.
This process isn’t just efficient — it supports a circular economy by ensuring that materials are kept in use for as long as possible.
Our environmental commitment goes beyond recycling. RJ carefully selects and installs high-performance flooring with longer lifespans, reducing the need for frequent replacements. This simple, strategic decision helps our clients:
Reduce greenhouse gas emissions associated with manufacturing and shipping new flooring
Minimize disruptions from repeated renovations
Lower total project costs over time
By designing for durability and recyclability, we help our clients reduce their environmental impact — without compromising style, safety, or performance.
Whether you're managing a single facility or overseeing a large-scale commercial project, RJ is here to support your sustainability goals. From product selection to end-of-life recycling, we make it easy to make the responsible choice.
