EcoWorx M

Shaw Commercial

EcoWorx M™ is a carpet tile backing designed to aid in moisture mitigation and ease of installation, while enhancing both in-room and floor-to-floor acoustics. Carbon neutral and PVC-Free, EcoWorx M carpet tiles are also fully recyclable and can be reclaimed at the end of useful life through the re[TURN]® reclamation program–to be turned into the material ingredients for new EcoWorx flooring. 

Featuring a breathable PET layer, EcoWorx M helps to alleviate slab-based moisture concerns by allowing evaporation. Specifically designed for use in areas where moisture is a concern, EcoWorx M products eliminate the need to remove existing adhesives or perform moisture testing prior to installation.  

The carpet tiles utilize EcoSolution Q100 yarn, which contains 100 percent post-industrial recycled content. The PET layer in the backing contains 90 percent pre-consumer/post-industrial recycled content, and overall, products can contain up to 68 percent recycled content per square yard.  

EcoWorx M expects to be certified Cradle to Cradle Bronze in 2025, with NSF 140 Gold certification, Declare Label, HPD, and EPD all available this year.
