ECO Mats
Quality Mat has always been the leader in design and manufacturing of cutting edge ground protection mats, and the synthetic ECOmat continues that tradition. Specifically designed for multiple applications, the ECOmat provides numerous benefits beyond the typical composite mat that has been widely used.
ECOmat is a solid and fully synthetic mat without the hollow core of other composite mats. A hollow core mat by nature has voids; these voids become breached due to poor design, manufacturing and material composition. Therefore, a hollow core composite mat will become laden with water and solids and thus transport any chemicals retained within the voids. This presents a significant challenge in managing the environmental impacts of using a hollow core mat. This also increases the weight of each mat altering your transportation plans and schedule which increases overall project costs. It’s very difficult to predict and plan when your mat weights vary day to day.
ECOmat is designed and manufactured in a segmented manner allowing us to construct the mat to almost any size, thickness, or diversity of materials. Our aim is to produce a mat that helps you achieve your project scope of work, while keeping the environment in mind.
Applications: Quality Mat’s ECOmat works well in the petrochemical, high-line utilities, and pipeline industries, as well as general construction and oil and gas industries. Our mats minimize accidents and provide a safe and stable work surface for heavy equipment and employees, much like our other ground protection mats.
ECO Mat Features
- The synthetic ECOmat increases foot traction, reduces open spots in pad sites, and minimizes cleaning as a result of the closed gap nature of the mat.
- Minimizes the transference of chemicals or fluids from site to site, including landfills and mass burn sites. This is a critical function of the ECOmat, as compared to a traditional composite mat.
- Designed to be recycled and never disposed of in landfills.
- The ECOmat is bolted, which eliminates issues with nails and flat tires.
- The D-Ring provides safe lifting and collapses to reduce trip hazards.
- All ground protection mats meet the criteria for a Class 2 (B) rating, according to ATSM E 84 for flame spread.
- The ECOmat is made using a proprietary blend of plastic and mineral material. Every ECOmat is made of approximately 50% recycled material, which translates into approximately 1,200 pounds of recycled goods that do not go into landfills.
- Can be repaired at low cost
- Does not hold water / solids (chemicals)
- Can be cleaned and decontaminated
- Manufacturing allows for multiple sizes, weights and materials

Many composite mats on the market have poor performance properties in terms of stiffness, longevity (back end charges for breakage) and delamination due to poor product design and manufacturing process. Our R&D team worked tirelessly to develop the ECOmat to ensure a non-absorbent, safe and stable work surface free of deficiencies found in many hollow-core composite mats.
