Armstrong World Industries named The Kroger Co. as its 2013 Flooring Recycler of the Year.
The Armstrong award recognizes organizations that made significant environmental contributions by recycling VCT materials during demolition projects; resulting in waste reduction in landfill materials, transportation, and energy. Kroger received this award because of their commitment to waste reduction as demonstrated by their efforts to reclaim vinyl composition tile (VCT) from multiple stores throughout the United States in 2013. The Armstrong Recycler of the Year Award was presented to Kroger during a recent ceremony at their corporate facility in Cincinnati.
