DESSO EcoBase®

Tarkett DESSO EcoBase® carpet tiles

In a world in which sustainability is becoming more and more important, it is not just about small changes, but about real innovations. Tarkett DESSO EcoBase® rugs are sending a strong message here — a rug that not only beautifies the spaces in which we live and work, but is also part of a true circular economy.

With the innovative EcoBase® back construction, Tarkett shows how circular economy works in practice. The carpet tiles consist of up to 91% recycled and bio-based materials and are designed so that they can be completely recycled at the end of their life cycle. The EcoBase® backing is defined as a technical nutrient and can be recycled in a closed material cycle at Tarkett without loss of quality. The result: a Cradle to Cradle Certified® Gold product that meets the highest standards of material health, traceability and environmental compatibility.

A particular highlight: The DESSO AirMaster® carpet collection is the first product in the world to be awarded the Gold Plus label by the Society for Environmental and Interior Analytics (GUI) and is 8 times more effective in binding particulate matter than smooth floor coverings.
