Shaw leads the flooring industry in carpet reclamation. Recognized by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for innovation in carpet recycling, Shaw collects more than 100 million pounds of carpet annually and recycles these products through our various recycling programs. Our Evergreen Nylon Recycling Facility in Augusta, GA., alone accounts for one-third of the industry's entire carpet recycling capabilities.
With more than 40 recycling collection centers nationwide, Shaw Hospitality Group can reclaim your carpet throughout the United States. After the end of its useful life, our EcoWorx and Eco Solution Q products can be recycled by calling 877.502.SHAW (7429).
The Evergreen Nylon Recycling Facility in Augusta, Georgia, is the tool that allows Shaw to convert carpet into new nylon. This eliminates landfill waste and keeps high-value materials within the production stream to make new carpet. Evergreen takes post consumer, Eco Solution Q® and other nylon 6 carpets from other manufacturers and converts the carpet into caprolactam monomer, the building block of new nylon. Once complete, this recovered nylon is virtually indistinguishable from new nylon, having the same aesthetic and performance properties. The recycled content can then be inserted back into the production stream for new Shaw nylon.
