Every lot here was once destined for waste transfer — listing it instead keeps first-quality material in circulation at well below merchant list. As reclaimed stock it carries genuine history — the full condition report below states exactly what to expect.
Reusing this material saves roughly 404 kg CO₂e versus firing and glazing new ceramic/porcelain tiles (~9–12 kg CO₂e per m²).
That's equivalent to about 2384 km of average petrol-car driving, or what 19 mature trees absorb in a year.
Reuse is the single fastest way to cut a build's embodied carbon — substitution beats offsetting every time.
The headline saving on this listing (~404 kg CO₂e) is benchmarked against firing and glazing new ceramic/porcelain tiles (~9–12 kg CO₂e per m²). That's the embodied-carbon figure — the emissions locked into new material at the point of manufacture, before it ever reaches your site.
In UK building terms, embodied carbon typically accounts for 40–60% of a project's whole-life emissions once operational energy is decarbonised. Reusing flooring like this lot from Bristol bypasses the manufacturing stage entirely, which is why substitution consistently outperforms offsetting on lifecycle assessments.
For projects tracking against Part Z (the proposed embodied-carbon amendment to the Building Regulations), BREEAM Mat 01 credits, or the RIBA 2030 Climate Challenge, reused material counts at zero embodied carbon in the A1–A3 modules. Keep the seller invoice, this listing URL and the CO₂e figure together in your carbon file.
Beyond carbon: buying this lot from Bristol Reclaim Co. keeps first-quality flooring out of the UK construction waste stream (currently ~62 million tonnes/year, per DEFRA). It supports the circular-economy supply chain — sellers who divert stock only continue diverting when there's a viable resale route.
This is reclaimed stock — once the ≈ 12 m² here is gone there is no matching batch to re-order, so buy your full area plus spares in one purchase.
Porcelain, ceramic and most engineered boards listed here suit wet or electric UFH; check the thickness in the measurements table and keep floor temperature under the manufacturer's limit.
Yes — inspection at the seller's Bristol unit is encouraged, and the batch/shade code above will match what you collect.
Bristol Reclaim Co. issues a VAT invoice on collection or dispatch — bank transfer is standard, card on request. For anything over £500 we recommend a written spec confirmation before paying, so the exact flooring description and quantity are on record.
A short reservation (typically 48–72 hours) is usually possible with a 10% holding deposit. Surplus stock moves quickly, especially reclaimed lots at this price point — confirm the hold in writing so the seller doesn't re-list.
Yes — the ~404 kg CO₂e saving is calculable against the benchmark in the sustainability notes above; keep this listing URL as evidence for your embodied-carbon log.
