Introducing Versital ECO

Manufactured from 100% rPET Recycled Resin

Alongside our long established product, we have now introduced a brand new range of finishes as part of the Versital ECO range. Versital ECO takes our commitment manufacturing in an environmentally conscious way one step further: all ECO surfaces are manufactured using 100% recycled rPET resin.

What is rPET Resin?

rPET Resin is manufactured from post-consumer waste. Made using 100% bottles that would be destined for landfill.

In order to produce 1 ton of rPET resin, 4200 bottles are reused. This avoids the disposal into landfill or other ways.

New Versital ECO Colour Range

Typically Versital has always been manufactured using the highest and clearest grade of resin which is a water clear formula. Recycled resin is a different colour to our usual raw material, and a beautiful new colour range has been developed to take advantage of this.

Our Declaration on Waste

  • We separate our waste to minimise anything we send to landfill
  • We re-use wooden pallets where-ever possible
  • All metal waste is separated and sent for recycling. Last year we sent 28 tonnes of metal waste to be turned into new useful objects.
  • We recycle paper and cardboard waste and re-use where possible
