Art Meets Science: A Continual Loop From Past
to Present
Introducing Art + Science : a revolutionary PVC-free resilient , changing the way we think about hard surface performance and circularity.
Born from EcoWorx® carpet tile backing, an idea we first launched 25 years ago, Art + Science collection, our first PVC-free, fully recyclable EcoWorx™ Resilient. As sustainable as it is beautiful and designed for performance in all commercial spaces.
Art + Science – a cycle completing itself.
ECOWORX RESILIENT TURNS INTO ECOWORX PRODUCTS, WHAT GO ES AROUND COMES AROUND.

We've Come Full Circle
Launched in 1999, EcoWorx® is the world’s first fully recyclable PVC-free carpet tile backing. And now it’s our first fully recyclable PVC-free resilient flooring.
The best part: at the end of its useful life, we'll reclaim and recycle Art + Science EcoWorx™ Resilient styles to make more EcoWorx products through our Environmental Guarantee. Since 2006, Shaw has reclaimed and recycled nearly 1 billion pounds of post-consumer flooring reducing landfill waste.
The circle never ends.
