Sustainable Vinyl Program

Sustainability with Purpose

At Graphic Image Flooring, reducing our environmental impact isn’t a marketing initiative — it’s built into how we operate. We continually evaluate our materials, production processes, and manufacturing partnerships to deliver high-performance flooring solutions with a reduced environmental footprint.

We work directly with our raw vinyl manufacturing partners to source responsible, high-quality vinyl substrates designed to meet the rigorous demands of the trade show and event industry. Performance remains non-negotiable — durability, dimensional stability, print clarity, and speed to production are critical.

Our Duralite, Prestige, Small Coin, Endurance, and Expressions XD vinyl lines are fully recyclable. At end of life, materials are recovered, ground, and repurposed into other flooring products — extending the material lifecycle and reducing landfill waste. This closed-loop approach supports sustainability without compromising the rapid production and fulfillment timelines our customers rely on.

At Graphic Image Flooring, sustainability and performance go hand in hand — delivering flooring solutions that elevate your brand while minimizing environmental impact.

How to Recycle Your Vinyl Flooring

Recycling your Prestige® or Endurance® Vinyl Trade Show Flooring is simple. We’ve streamlined the return process to make recovery efficient, straightforward, and event-friendly.

Step 1: Request Your Return
Contact Graphic Image Flooring to initiate your vinyl recycling return of Prestige, Endurance, and Expressions XD flooring.

Step 2: Approve Return Freight
We’ll provide a quote for return shipping to one of our recycling facilities in Emporia, KS or Randolph, NJ. Once approved, we’ll issue your invoice along with prepaid shipping labels and a Bill of Lading (BOL).
Please note: Any show site material handling, drayage, or exhibitor fees remain the responsibility of the exhibitor.

Step 3: Prepare the Flooring for Return
At the close of the show, remove any permiter tape (residue is acceptable). Roll the vinyl tightly on its original core and secure it with tape or shrink wrap to ensure safe transport.

Step 4: Release to Show Management
Notify show management that your flooring is ready for outbound shipment — we’ll handle the rest.

Recycling your Prestige® or Endurance® Vinyl Flooring extends material life, diverts waste from landfills, and supports a more sustainable trade show environment — without adding complexity to your event process.

At Graphic Image Flooring, responsible recovery is part of delivering high-performance flooring from start to finish.

Recyclable Vinyl Trade Show Flooring Engineered for Performance

In 2026, Graphic Image Flooring introduced our first fully recyclable vinyl trade show flooring systems — engineered for complete product recovery and reuse. Designed specifically for the demands of trade shows, conventions, and live events, our sustainable vinyl flooring solutions combine performance, durability, and environmental responsibility.

Our recyclable event vinyl flooring delivers exceptional dimensional stability, high-definition print clarity, and long-lasting wear resistance. Unlike traditional event floors that end up in landfills, our closed-loop vinyl flooring system allows materials to be recovered, processed, and repurposed into new flooring products — significantly reducing environmental impact.

By working directly with our vinyl manufacturing partners, we ensure responsible sourcing, renewable energy-supported production, and measurable sustainability progress. The result is eco-friendly trade show flooring that meets the rigorous standards of exhibitors, event producers, and brand marketers — without sacrificing speed, quality, or visual impact.

Graphic Image Flooring leads the industry in sustainable trade show and event flooring, delivering recyclable vinyl solutions that perform on the show floor and beyond.
