carpet recyclingFor years wall to wall carpet has  filled our landfills. More and more carpet recycling is now taking place and carpet is quickly becoming a green product.

The collected carpet is made with nylon 6 face fiber. An average of 80 percent of the post-consumer carpet Shaw collects is made with nylon 6 fiber. When reclaimed material has been manufactured with plastic and can’t be recycled into new carpet, it can also be diverted for reuse in carpet cushion, erosion and sediment control products and engineered resins that are used to produce injection molded plastic automobile parts.
