F.A.Q.

WHAT ARE EKOMATS AND MEGAMATS?

Made from plastic shopping bags and diverted landfill-bound material, EkoMats and MegaMats are dynamic, multi-use, ground-access tools featuring slip resistance, durability, and versatility across a wide range of applications. By safeguarding against damage and enhancing accessibility, the mats help reduce costs and promote a safer workspace.

WHAT IS LDPE?

Low-density polyethylene, also known as LDPE or #4 plastic, is often used to make six-pack rings, food wrap, dry-cleaning bags, agricultural film, shopping bags, and more. There are few reuse or recycling options for LDPE, especially when it has not been properly cleaned after use. It is estimated that 95% of single-use plastics, such as LDPE, end up in landfills.

WHAT MAKES EKOMATS A VALUE-ADDED PRODUCT?

EkoMats are engineered using a revolutionary technology and a low-emissions manufacturing process that converts single-use and “dirty” LDPE into Ekopolimer — a recycled, superior material. Ekopolimer technology creates value for “dirty” LDPE and other post-consumer content that would otherwise end up in landfills and oceans. What was previously unrecyclable content is now transformed into high-performing, functional tools.

WHAT IS THE COST-BENEFIT OF USING EKOMATS?

EkoMats are an earth-friendly alternative to plywood for ground-access applications. Where the average lifespan of a

piece of plywood is a few uses before disposal, EkoMats have a multiyear lifespan, hold up against rigorous use, and

can be recycled and reprocessed multiple times without losing the compositional integrity of their material. Not only

can EkoMats outlast plywood, but they also save money over the long-term.
