eKo® (pronounced “echo”) modular backing system is a PVC-free backing built for an enduring and infinitely recyclable life. An endless “echo” of usefulness. J+J/Invision products backed with eKo contain less backing materials – that means less embodied energy. In fact, it’s 33% lighter than PVC backing. That makes it good for the environment and your budget. Recycled content is another eKo asset. This revolutionary backing is manufactured using post-consumer and pre-consumer recycled content. eKo modular carpet tile is NSF/ANSI Standard 140-2007 Platinum certified – the first multi-attribute ANSI standard for environmentally preferable building materials in the construction industry. And what may be most appealing of the eKo backing system’s many environmentally friendly elements is that it’s designed to provide closed-loop recyclability. eKo provides lifetime warranties for tuft bind strength (edge ravel, yarn pulls and zippering), delamination protection, dimensional stability and moisture barrier. To make things even easier, for a minimal charge, J+J/Invision will take back all eKo products at the end of their useful life. Think green. Think eKo – a virtually perpetual “echo” of sustainable environmental goodwill.
