Modular Backing Systems
J+J/Industries offers two types of performance backing systems for our modular styles - eKo® modular (PVC-free) and Nexus® modular (PVC). Both are engineered to provide the protection and stability that modular carpet requires.
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 and less embodied energy. In fact, it’s 33% lighter than conventional PVC backing. That makes it good for the environment and your budget.
This revolutionary backing is manufactured using post-consumer recycled content as well as bio-based materials. eKo backing system is designed to be closed-loop recyclability. 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.
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.
