Digital material passports - Tarkett AirMaster Desso
The carpet tiles are 100% recyclable and contain up to 91% recycled and bio-based content.
Tarkett AirMaster Desso patented technology captures and retains fine dust 8 times more effectively than smooth floors and 4 times more than standard carpet*. Tarkett demonstrates a conscious commitment to reducing its carbon footprint. A new and enhanced EcoBase backing has been launched that involves replacing a core ingredient, formerly petroleum-based, with a new bio-based ingredient.
*Based on GUI test report AirMaster® 090225-01 DF with DESSO AirMaster® versus a standard smooth floor and versus standard structured loop pile carpet (median values).

What is a digital material passport?
A material passport is a digital document listing all the materials that are included in a product or construction during its life cycle in order to facilitate circularity decisions in supply chain management at the end of the building life.
At Cundall, we want to create a passport to materials/products that will also provide information before its use so designers and contractors are capable of making conscious decisions of products that could affect the embodied carbon and health well-being of a project, facilitating the inclusion of the best low carbon and/ healthy materials that align with their design.
