Discover the beauty of circularity with Tarkett as we delve into the evolution of the DESSO EcoBase backing.

Our carpet tiles are designed for circularity — composed of two key components, yarn and backing that come together just as neatly as they can later be taken apart. Our latest milestone is the evolution of DESSO EcoBase® backing — by incorporating a bio-based ingredient from a new cross-industry partnership, we have achieved our lowest footprint yet and continued to demonstrate our dedication to circularity.

Restless innovators, we are constantly seeking ways to evolve our products and enhance material choices. Our newest evolution of EcoBase carpet tile backing sees bio-based pine rosin replace a petroleum-based resource, resulting in a 5% material change.

This subtle, yet impactful, adjustment reduces each tile’s Circular Carbon Footprint by on average 20%1, our lowest yet, and we remain focused on shrinking this further. With continuous innovation, EcoBase remains 100% recyclable and Cradle to Cradle Gold-certified, thanks to DESSO’s closed-loop system.
