What EcoGlobal does

EcoGlobal is an environmental engineering firm that designs and manufactures ground protection mats sold under the EkoMats and MegaMats brands. Founded in 2014 and headquartered in Chelsea, Massachusetts, the company employs 11–50 people and operates its commercial website at ekomats.com. Its core technology, branded Ekopolimer, is a proprietary recycled material produced through a low-emissions manufacturing process that converts single-use LDPE (Plastic #4) waste — including "dirty" post-consumer content, plastic film, flexible packaging, and shopping bags — into a durable composite rated to support up to 80 tons.

The company's product line addresses ground access, stabilization, and surface protection needs across construction, industrial operations, facility management, landscaping, and residential DIY applications. Mats are positioned as a reusable alternative to plywood, with multiyear lifespans and the ability to be recycled and reprocessed multiple times without losing compositional integrity. EcoGlobal markets the environmental benefit of diverting plastic waste from landfills and oceans — citing that an estimated 95% of single-use LDPE ends up in landfills — as a core component of its value proposition. Brand identities for EkoMats, MegaMats, and Ekopolimer are registered trademarks.

EcoGlobal operates a hybrid direct-to-consumer and channel-based go-to-market model. Products are sold directly through an e-commerce cart on ekomats.com, supplemented by physical retail/reseller locations accessible via a "Where to Buy" page and dealer relationships with equipment sales companies. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and appears quote-based for bulk or enterprise orders. Customer validation comes from a mix of end users (construction firms, equipment rental operators, logistics specialists, station supervisors, a homebuilder/architect) and a strategic partnership with the Northeast Resource Recovery Association. Geographic reach evidenced by testimonials covers the United States (New Hampshire, Vermont) and Canada.

Core offering

EcoGlobal manufactures and sells ground protection mats under the brands EkoMats and MegaMats. The mats are produced from Ekopolimer, a proprietary recycled composite material engineered from single-use LDPE plastic waste and other post-consumer content using a low-emissions manufacturing process. The products are positioned as durable, slip-resistant, multi-use alternatives to plywood for ground access, stabilization, and surface protection applications.

Product overview

EcoGlobal offers a unified product line of ground protection mats consisting of EkoMats and MegaMats. Both products are manufactured using proprietary Ekopolimer technology that converts single-use plastic waste (LDPE) into a high-performing, carbon-offsetting material. The products serve as earth-friendly alternatives to plywood for ground-access applications across diverse sectors including construction, industrial, landscaping, and residential use. The portfolio differentiates through multi-year lifespans, recyclability without losing material integrity, and versatile applications ranging from ground stabilization to walkway creation.

Direct peers

• Quality Mat Company: Manufactures and rents composite ground protection mats built from recycled HDPE. Direct competitor in the sustainable ground protection category with a comparable product/market fit targeting construction, oil & gas, and utilities.
• Checkers Industrial Safety Products (Ground Protection Mats): Manufactures ground protection mats, utility vehicle products, and industrial safety equipment. Overlaps with EkoMats in the ground protection category and shares an industrial safety buyer.
• Signature Systems Group: One of the largest manufacturers of composite ground protection mats and temporary roadway systems in North America. Directly competes with EkoMats in the same end markets (construction, industrial, events) with similar composite mat products.
• Newpark Resources (Dura-Base): Publicly traded company whose Dura-Base composite mat system is a leading heavy-duty ground protection product for energy, utility, and construction sites. Direct competitor at the high-capacity (80-ton class) end of the market.
• AlturnaMATS (Lifetime Tool Group): Manufacturer of molded ground protection mats and outrigger pads, often made from recycled polymers. Directly competes in the contractor/DIY and industrial ground protection segment.

Broad incumbents

• Trex Company: Large public manufacturer of composite decking and outdoor products made from recycled polyethylene film. Uses a similar recycled-LDPE/HDPE feedstock narrative and demonstrates the commercial scale ceiling for upcycled plastic durable goods.

Emerging players

• Oxford Plastics: Manufactures temporary access mats, trench covers, and ground protection solutions using engineered plastics. Adjacent competitor in the ground protection category with overlapping sustainability positioning.
• Versatile Building Products (Recon Wall Systems): Manufacturer of recycled-plastic lumber, mats, and structural products. Uses post-consumer HDPE/LDPE feedstock, comparable material thesis to Ekopolimer with broader product applications.
• GroundGuards (UK): UK-based ground protection and temporary roadway specialist offering both composite and plastic mat systems. Comparable product architecture and end markets but focused on European customers.

Others

• Envision Plastics (recycled PE): Recycled polyethylene (rPE) compounder and resin supplier. Potentially a feedstock supplier or material competitor at the upstream compounding layer of the Ekopolimer value chain.
