Koroseal Wallcovering Reclamation Program
The Easy Way to Recycle Wallcovering
To reduce the amount of material being disposed in landfills, Koroseal is proud to introduce the Koroseal Wallcovering Reclamation Program. Through the Reclamation Program, Koroseal will reclaim and recycle vinyl wallcoverings removed from interiors.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What kind of wallcoverings can be reclaimed?
A. Any fabric backed (woven and non-woven) vinyl wallcovering. Teflon®-laminated wallcovering cannot be returned.
Q. Will Koroseal take back a competitor’s wallcoverings?
A. Yes.
Q. Does a customer have to place an order with Koroseal in order to return wallcoverings?
A. Yes.
Q. Can Koroseal accept residual drywall and adhesive on the returned wallcovering?
A. Yes. Koroseal can accept residual drywall and adhesive on the back of the wallcovering. (Other contaminants such as nails, razor blades, wood, glass and garbage must be removed.)
Q. Where do customers send the used wallcovering?
A. To Koroseal’s plant in Marietta, Ohio 45750. Koroseal Sales Representatives must complete a
Wallcovering Reclamation Authorization form prior to material being shipped to Marietta. Wallcoverings must be packaged properly to assure the materials remain dry and clean.
Q. Who is responsible for shipping the used wallcovering to the Marietta plant?
A. The customer is responsible for shipping the used wallcovering to the Marietta plant.
Q. Will Koroseal pay the freight to return used wallcovering?
A. Yes. If a customer purchases an equal amount of wallcovering that is returned to the Marietta plant
(assume 1 pound of returned wallcovering = 1 yard of wallcovering), the customer can ship the used
wallcovering collect using an RJF International Corporation pre-approved carrier.
Q. Does participating in the Reclamation Program contribute to a building achieving LEED points?
A. Yes. The LEED Materials & Resources Credits 2.1 and 2.2, Construction Waste Management, require construction and demolition debris be diverted from disposal in landfills and incinerators. By returning used wallcovering to Koroseal, a building owner will divert construction debris from disposal or incineration.
Q. How do I get started?
A. Please contact your Koroseal Customer Service Sales Representative for additional details.
