| Shaw cares about the environment–both inside and outside of the home. That’s why we’re taking steps to improve air quality, reduce landfill waste, conserve water and save energy through our many sustainable products and processes. Here are just a few of the ways Shaw is going green.
SHAW’S INDOOR ENVIRONMENTAL EFFORTS:
- Shaw offers eco-friendly flooring options that include recycled content in all five flooring categories
- Shaw carpets help insulate the home, enabling homeowners to save energy while reducing their heating and cooling costs
- Shaw carpets help reduce the presence of indoor allergens by trapping and immobilizing household particulates until they can be vacuumed away
- All Shaw carpets are CRI Green Label Plus certified, the industry’s highest VOC standard for indoor air quality
SHAW’S OUTDOOR ENVIRONMENTAL EFFORTS:
- Shaw is the largest recycler of post-consumer carpet in the world.
- Shaw’s waste-to-energy facility converts 18,000 tons of carpet and wood waste to energy annually, saving more than 2.5 million gallons of fuel oil
- Shaw’s is current building a second waste-to-energy facility, named Re2E
- Shaw’s corporate goal is to reduce landfill waste by 90 percent by year-end 2011
