Sustainability in manufacturing requires change. Signature Floorcoverings responds by partnering with global factories that meet our strict environmental and sustainability requirements.
Rather than committing to a single production method, our products are manufactured using the latest sustainable technologies available, allowing us to adapt as processes continue to evolve. Signature is also a leading exporter of floorcoverings that comply with Australia’s stringent environmental standards.
To support continual improvement, we work with recognised, industry-accredited bodies rather than developing internal benchmarks. While achieving complete sustainability is an ongoing journey, we are committed to making measurable progress and delivering initiatives that support the evolving needs of the commercial flooring market.
Our featured initiatives
Signature supports a range of material innovation and product stewardship initiatives designed to reduce waste and support a circular economy within commercial flooring.
ECONYL® regenerated nylon
ECONYL® is regenerated nylon made from recovered waste materials, restored to original quality and used to create high-performance commercial carpet yarns.
Circul8® carpet tile recycling
Circul8 is Signature Floors’ carpet tile recycling initiative, designed to extend product life and reduce waste through reuse, refurbishment and regeneration.
ResiLoop product stewardship
Signature Floors is a founding member of ResiLoop, Australia’s national stewardship scheme supporting circular solutions for resilient flooring.
Product Stewardship
At Signature Floors, we recognise that responsibility extends beyond the point of sale and warranty periods. Product stewardship is embedded in the way we approach design, manufacturing and lifecycle management for commercial flooring.
In partnership with our manufacturing partners, we commit to responsible lifecycle practices that consider durability, reuse potential and end-of-life outcomes. This approach supports long-term performance in commercial environments while helping to reduce environmental impact over the life of our products.
Through practical stewardship initiatives and ongoing collaboration, we continue to evolve how commercial flooring materials are managed, reused and recovered — delivering sustainable solutions that are realistic, measurable and fit for purpose.

Supporting the WELL Building Standard
The WELL Building Standard is an evidence-based system that measures and certifies building performance in relation to human health and wellbeing, focusing on areas such as air quality, comfort and the indoor environment.
While flooring is not a standalone credit within WELL, Signature’s sustainable flooring products can contribute to points across WELL projects by supporting healthier indoor environments. WELL Certified workplaces have also been shown to positively influence occupant wellbeing, productivity and performance.
