Consider:

What recycled underlayment products could be used?

What choices for recycled finish flooring exist?
  • Carpet
  • Tile
  • Resilient rubber flooring

What recyclable materials aren't being recycled locally because a market is lacking? Could these recyclable materials be used to fabricate a custom flooring material for this project, or can this project provide a market impetus to launch a local recycled product manufacturing enterprise? One example would be the use of recycled glass cullet in terrazzo flooring or artisan-style glass tile.

Will the maintenance requirements of recycled products be different from other products?

Will recycled flooring negatively affect air quality?

Will installation procedures necessitate extra resources or reduce air quality?

Is the product recyclable at the end of its useful life?
