CERTIFICATION
WHAT IS ECS?
ECS (Environmental Certification Scheme) is the Carpet Institute of Australia’s independent, third-party environmental certification program. It is recognised within the Green Building Council’s Green Star rating system. All of Above Left’s EcoSoft® cushion backed carpet tile ranges are now certified to the newly introduced ECS Level 4 Plus, the highest possible accreditation.
Achieving ECS Level 4 Plus ensures our products meet the most stringent criteria for:
VOC emissions and indoor air quality
Exclusion of toxic chemicals, materials, and dyes
Robust Environmental Management Systems in manufacturing
Fitness for purpose and long-term product performance
This top-tier accreditation guarantees a full product score in Green Star rating calculators and reinforces EcoSoft® as one of the most environmentally responsible carpet tile backings on the market.
