Ecotile Environmental Info and Specs Document
 Composition
& Manufacture
Ecotile is injection moulded using either
virgin, recycled or a combination of both virgin
and recycled material.
Standards & Accreditation
Meets & exceeds requirements.
BS EN685:1996 (Resilient & laminate floor coverings)
BS EN649:1997 (Resilient floor coverings. Homogenous
& heterogeneous pvc floor coverings)
Life Cycle Cost
Ecotile is a loose laid system
so in the event of damage or excessive wear individual
tile can be lifted and replaced significantly
extending the life of the floor and reducing the
life cycle cost.
Sustainability
Ecotile is 100% recyclable, at the end
of its service life the tiles can be granulated
and re-used to manufacture a new floor. Most floor
coverings only have a limited life span due to
wear or the building occupier’s wishes to refurbish
or alter the buildings appearance. Most waste
floor coverings will end up in land fill due to
the fact that once it has been adhered to the
floor it cannot be re-used. Not only can Ecotile
be recycled but there is a strong market for pre-owned
tiles.
Anticipated Service Life
25 years +
Recycled Content
Decoloc 100%
Black 100%
Light/Dark Grey 75-100%
Colours 50-100%
Percentage may vary subject to availability
and quality of recycled material.
Environmental
Impact
During 2007, 20,000 tons of waste was
recycled in the UK alone. This was made
up of post consumer and post industrial waste.
