That’s why at Godfrey Hirst, we’re proud to offer carpets that meet the highest environmental standards, certified to give you peace of mind today and confidence for tomorrow.
What is ECS Level 4+?
The Environmental Certification Scheme (ECS) is Australia’s trusted carpet sustainability standard. Managed by the Carpet Institute of Australia, ECS independently certifies carpets that meet strict environmental performance criteria across every stage of the product’s life cycle.
From responsible material sourcing to manufacturing processes, product performance, and end-of-life recycling potential, ECS looks at it all.
Level 4+ is the highest certification available. It signals that a carpet meets best-in-class environmental standards, making it a smarter choice for green-minded homeowners and renovators.
