WHAT IS ECS?
ECS Level 4 Plus – The Highest Level of Environmental Certification
ECS (Environmental Certification Scheme) is the Carpet Institute of Australia’s independent, third-party environmental certification program and is recognised within the Green Building Council of Australia’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 level of accreditation
Achieving ECS Level 4 Plus confirms that 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 ensures our products achieve a full product score in Green Star rating calculators and further reinforces EcoSoft® as one of the most environmentally responsible carpet tile backing solutions on the market.
Product Take-Back Program
Our commitment to sustainability extends beyond the life of the product. Above Left offers a carpet tile take-back program, independently operated through Revert Group.
Through the program, eligible carpet tiles can be collected at the end of their useful life and assessed for recycling, reuse or redirection into new products and alternative purposes, helping divert materials from landfill and support a more circular approach to flooring.
