by Shane Henson — March 26, 2012—Rubber-Cal Inc., an independent industrial rubber company located in Santa Ana, California, now offers three new products that may appeal to sustainability-minded facilities managers needing new flooring for buildings.
Two of the new rubber floor coverings, Tuff-Flex and Tuff-N-Lastic, are made of reclaimed rubber. Both eco-friendly products inherit the all-weather durability of rubber tires, which is what they are derived from. The third new product, Diamond Plate, is offered in tough, anti-slip rubber flooring rolls with an industrial aesthetic.
“Rubber is our specialty,” states My Tran, e-commerce manager for the company. “Considering this, we’re aware that rubber can be a sustainable material. We’re aware of the dire consequences of tires being sent to landfills. With this awareness, we can address environmental issues through how we conduct our business by offering eco-conscious products.” Tran added that small steps in recycling and efficiency “are precursors to more substantial changes.”
Rubber-Cal, Inc. is no stranger to offering recycled and reclaimed rubber flooring. In 2011, over 60% of Rubber-Cal’s sales were derived from reclaimed, recycled, and natural rubber goods.
Since 1994, Rubber-Cal, Inc. has offered rubber flooring options for industrial, commercial and residential applications. The company says it will continue to make eco-conscious products available to the public.
