The company has brought out a new flooring tile product that utilizes 100% reprocessed rubber flooring materials and reused rubber tires.
According to Randy Nelson, Swisstrax’s President, who also headed the research project, the company has been working along plastic recyclers, rubber compounding companies, waste tire sellers and CalRecycle for a number of years to unearth the right material and suitable compounds for making the new product.
The new tile happens to be the first ever injection-molded and anti-fatigue standard tile produced utilizing reused rubber tires globally. The elastic type of tiles with an interlocking facility is produced by utilizing an exclusive type of mold designed by the company and the tiles are manufactured at its facility in the USA.
