Tarkett – iQ Optima
Tarkett – EcoBase
DESSO by Tarkett has halved the use of petroleum-based material in its DESSO EcoBase carpet tile backing by replacing it with a by-product from the Scandinavian paper industry: biobased pine rosin. EcoBase backing is already 100% recyclable and Cradle to Cradle Gold-certified but now has a further reduced carbon footprint due to the replacement of 50% of its fossil-derived tackifier, instead using a rosin ester sourced from Swedish paper mills working with sustainably managed forests. Te material is distilled from rosin (wood saps), which is left over from the wood pulping process. Tis 5% material adjustment in the backing results in an average 20% reduction in each tile’s circular carbon footprint.

Tarkett’s iQ Optima has been relaunched with a new range of colours across four palettes: Basalt, Argil, Lichen and Oxid. Te idea of the new approach is to combine a directional effect in the design with a palette of colours that evoke movement and emotion. It features three different patterns, including Blend, Original and Mono, each selected for their understated, subtle nature, and intended for use across large general areas.
Te new collection has been organised to reflect Tarkett’s wider range of iQ flooring, with each of the four colour palettes designed to be paired across the iQ Granit and iQ Eminent ranges.
