KwaZulu-Natal’s first manufacturer of eco-friendly rubber flooring for commercial, industrial and residential use, has launched an extensive range of rubber paving tiles and bricks made from recycled truck tyres. A joint venture between entrepreneur Jaco Snyman, carpeting and flooring giant Van Dyck and Hammarsdale-based Mathe Group, Envirobuild will produce a high quality product that is suitable for the local market and export. Jaco Snyman, managing director of Envirobuild, says that the new products, which include 93 percent recycled materials, are a perfect fit with increasing demand for greener flooring options. Internationally, architects, interior designers and the construction industry are under pressure to meet their clients’ sustainable building requirements in order to ensure green building certifications. “There is very little high quality flooring of this nature produced locally so there is definitely a market for it. We are the first company to produce eco-friendly rubber flooring in KwaZulu-Natal and one of very few in South Africa,” he said.
