Closed-Loop Recycling
Rugs made with Type 6 nylon (nylon 6), are the only post-consumer fiber capable of being recycled into new carpet and area rug fiber repeatedly. Shaw's Evergreen Nylon Recycling facility uses patented technology that converts Type 6 nylon fiber from carpet and area rugs and recycles it back to its original material, caprolactam, which is the building block of Type 6 nylon fiber. This "cradle-to-cradle" process allows Type 6 nylon fibers to be recycled over and over again without the loss of any aestheticor performance properties. This recycling program is available in the Phoenix area, for information please contact us at 480-419-6119.
CRI Green Label
Today, indoor air quality (IAQ) is an important environmental consideration, especially since we spend approximately 90 percent of our time indoors. In 1992, CRI launched its Green Label program to test carpet, cushions and adhesives to help specifiers identify products with very low emissions of VOCs. CRI has recently launched its next series of improvements called Green Label Plus for area rugs, carpet and adhesives. This enhanced program sets an even higher standard for IAQ and ensures that customers are purchasing the very lowest emitting products on the market. Using scientifically established standards, the Green Label Plus program symbolizes the carpet industry’s commitment to a better environment for living, working, learning and healing.
