We have product stewardship, where we will take back the rubber after its natural life and recycle it. We do not want the rubber to end up as landfill as with some other flooring products such as vinyl and lino. At present time, there is no evidence of any company in Australia recycling lino or vinyl after it has been installed and so it just ends up as landfill. There are companies in Australia that will take the rubber and recycle it. Rubber can be recycled over and over again.
Please click here to download the standard Product Stewardship letter we have but we can adapt it for each individual project.

Dalsouple rubber flooring's guarantee is for 10 years. To download Dalsouple Australasia's standard guarantee letter click here.

 DalMagnetic rubber tiles have a flexible magnetised backing designed for use on metallic access panels.

 We are happy to help with Greenstar info for other products such as DalRollo, DalMagnetic and DalChoc.

CARBON NEUTRAL OR CARBON POSTIVE?

Dalsouple DalNaturel was installed in the Carbon Neutral Building at the University of Copenhagen in Denmark where they held the Climate Change Summit. Click here

We use Qantas Couriers for air freight to import our rubber flooring via air freight and the cargo travels on the same plane as passenger planes. 

There wil be no carbon tax on international aviation fuel so this will not affect our importing.

We use APL Logistics for sea freighting larger shipments.

As an Australian company, we support Earth Hour.

 Future developments- to have 'wheelie bins' at each installation so that all scrap rubber can be taken and recycled, or cut up and used for samples.
