IVC Commercial Uses Social Plastic® for More Responsible Material Consumption

Comfytex Deluxe Pro from IVC Commercial is a textile-backed vinyl floor for housing projects that features Social Plastic®.

Comfytex Deluxe Pro from IVC Commercial provides an easy to install, durable and easy to look after floor suitable for housing projects. Fast to install without glue thanks to its textile backing, it provides a cost-effective choice in housing. The textile backing on Comfytex Deluxe Pro is made with Social Plastic®, a material that comes from recycled post-consumer ocean plastic. 

An initiative of Plastic Bank, a social fintech, Social Plastic® is a global bottle deposit programme that supports communities in vulnerable coastal areas across the world. So far, the scheme has collected over 7billion plastic bottles, reclaiming nearly 150million kilograms of plastic waste*. Under the Plastic Bank initiative, communities gather unwanted plastic exchanging it against life improving benefits including health, work and life insurance, digital connectivity, grocery vouchers, school supplies and more. 

The textile backing of Comfytex Deluxe Pro uses this Social Plastic®, along with other downcycled plastic, as part of IVC Commercial’s commitment to responsible material use. 

Stuart Reeves, sales and marketing director, IVC Commercial, says,

“As a flooring manufacturer that takes our responsibility seriously, we’re committed to finding materials that reduce their impact on the environment and society. Using Social Plastic® for Comfytex Deluxe Pro allows us not only to take plastic from our oceans and beaches to cut down on our consumption of virgin materials, but also support vulnerable communities by reducing poverty.”

IVC Commercial joins over 500 other companies across many sectors partnering with Plastic Bank. The company empowers over 600 communities across the world with more than 53,000 members.
