CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (CLARKSVILLENOW) – The Tennessee Recycling Coalition, with its Board of Directors, is pleased to present the 2020 Recycler of the Year Awards.
TRC’s Recycler of the Year Awards recognizes individuals, organizations, schools, and businesses in the State of Tennessee that have demonstrated a commitment to waste prevention and recycling.
Florim was named the 2020 Business Recycler of the Year.
“At the foundation of Florim USA’s industrial operations is concern for and preservation of the environment. Observing environmental regulations through certified environmental and quality management systems, Florim USA is committed to the environment, constantly placing attention on ecologically friendly and sustainable production options,” the TRC said.
“At Florim USA, sustainability efforts are inextricably intertwined with the company’s business and financial goals. Florim USA consistently implements innovative sustainable practices and is continually seeking opportunities for such practices to support those business and financial goals. Utilizing internally generated production scrap, various post-industrial wastes, and postconsumer scrap glass as novel raw materials; landfill diversion of many materials used at the facility; repurposing scrap pallets as well as reuse of our supersacks and recycling 100% of plant washdown water into the production process are a few of the ongoing sustainability efforts at Florim USA. Furthermore, the company is steadfast in the development of sustainable building products, both residential and commercial. Through comparisons of Life Cycle Assessments, porcelain tile is demonstrably more sustainable than other competing flooring and wall covering products.”
The TRC commends all of the applicants for their contributions and wish to congratulate the winners in each category.
