CoveringsETC Announces Launch of New Terrazo Collection
Products Contributing to a Zero-Waste Economy

Eco-Terr® Urban Fossil collection is available in slabs and tiles, in a selection of colors and terrazo finishes, and made of 100 percent recycled and recyclable natural materials. |
CoveringsETC, a leader in sustainable hard-surface finish materials, has launched their exciting new product line Urban Fossil– an alluring new collection of Terrazzo designs that are not only made of 100 percent recycled material, but are also 100 percent recyclable. CoveringsETC’s Eco-Terr® family of products offers a select variety of specialty Terrazzo finishes, in addition to following strict Future Friendly™ guidelines which showcase a production model for Circular Economy initiatives that contribute toward a zero waste society.
As with all surface materials offered by CoveringsETC, Eco-Terr products deviate from the take-make-waste model of our current linear economy, and instead adopt a make-use-reuse approach in order to close the loop on stone recycling. This means products contribute zero waste to landfills as they are made of 100 percent recycled natural materials saved from contaminating waterways, demolished buildings and inactive stone quarries. These materials are sourced from local suppliers and carefully selected and combined to enable their infinite recyclability.
The manufacturing process of Eco-Terr is chemical-free (no resins or smell) with zero VOCs (volatile organic compounds or “off-gassing”) which significantly improves indoor air quality. Additionally, due to enhanced manufacturing techniques, the final product does not support microbial growth (no germs or bacteria). An Eco-Terr tile installation is timeless and so resilient it will basically outlive the building, with an LCA of 60+ years. The CoveringsETC Eco-Terr Urban Fossil collection offers a contemporary look with a diversity of aggregates that vary in shape, size and color, making each piece a one of a kind.
CoveringsETC’s initiative of bringing circular products to the marketplace extends far beyond the Eco-Terr family of products. Hard-surface finish design options are also available in Bio-Glass®, the renowned product made of 100 percent post consumer upcycled glass bottles that is infinitely recyclable; Bio-Luminum, made of recycled aluminum from aircraft graveyards; or Eco-Cem®, made with recycled wood pulp.
Committed to The United Nations Global Goals for Sustainable Development, CoveringsETC proudly employs circular practices both in the manufacturing and packaging processes of their products. CoveringsETC is a member of the United States Green Building Council. To request a sample visit www.coveringsetc.com.
