Waste mountains turn into sports fields

​The Swedish company Bergo Flooring invented multifunctional plastic floor tiles in 1972. Now they are launching an eco-smart option, Bergo ECO-series.

Since there are international goals for increased recycling, Bergo Flooring has taken an important step in its environmental commitment; they have developed a product range from 100% recycled material. The product is unique, as it holds the same quality and properties as new virgin materials. Bergo Flooring is now manufacturing multifunctional flooring from discarded and recycled plastic which is also possible to recycle again and again.

Recently Gnosjö Municipality Schools in Sweden installed two sport courts from Bergo´s new ECO-range. Children are now sporting more actively thanks to the smart and attractive surfaces.

“It's fantastic that Bergo Flooring can help reducing the mountains of waste and then supplying the world with new products that will give pleasure to many people for years to come. These products last for many years, as exemplified by the deck covering on-board Silja Line´s ferries. It has lasted 25 years so far in the most extreme conditions you can expose a floor to.” says Eric Anderzon, CEO of Bergo Flooring. “We have attracted great attention with our ECO- range, not least among municipalities that are now extending their range of leisure activities by building ECO-smart sports grounds for their residents. Basically, every single order of our new product contributes to a more sustainable and a slightly better world,” concludes Eric.
