FROM floorcoveringweekly.com:Tandus Flooring launched a new, sustainable product portfolio system that is completely reusable and features a more detailed spine description with Microsoft Tag technology.
“The design community is operating in a different economic environment today and their challenges are considerably different than they were three or even five years ago,” said Tom Ellis, vice president of marketing, Tandus Flooring. “Across the country, the information was consistent and invaluable. We spend millions of dollars on sampling, why not get it right for those that need it and also for our environment?”
In the event a style is dropped, the book can be reused as Tandus takes the books back, recycles the samples, adds the new label to the spine and puts in new samples with literature. If the books are ever abused beyond reuse, the company also takes them back (the client pays for shipping), and separates the trays from the binder so the whole thing can be recycled, and then Tandus recycles the samples.
