Why Choose Eco-Friendly Products?

Reduce waste, improve processes and preserve natural resources.
 
Shaw Products
 
  • Shaw Epic Hardwoods use up to two-third fewer trees than traditional hardwoods.
     
  • We've developed the world's largest Carpet to Carpet™ recycling process to turn old nylon carpeting into stunning new Anso® carpet.
     
  • Our recycling efforts keep 300 million fewer pounds of carpet going into landfills every year.

Mohawk Products
 

Mohawk began recycling tires in 1999 and is now the leading tire recycler in the flooring industry. In 2004, 10 million pounds of crumb rubber tires—the equivalent of 720,000 tires—were recycled and transformed into designer door mats. Mohawk now converts more than 30 million pounds of tires into welcome mats each year.

  • 500: The number of Mohawk products currently containing recycled materials.
     
  • 3 Billion: About how many recycled plastic bottles we take in each year to manufacture Mohawk everSTRAND™ carpet and other home products.
     
  • 1.75 Billion: Pounds of pre- and post-consumer waste Mohawk diverts from landfills each year.
     
  • 100 percent: Water from manufacturing processes at most Mohawk ceramic tile facilities that is reused and never discharged as waste.
     
  • 7 square yards: The energy savings for this amount of SmartStrand® with DuPont™ Sorona® renewably sourced polymer is equal to one gallon of gasoline.
     
  • 1 Billion: Pounds of foam trim has been made into Mohawk cushion instead of taking up space in landfills.


And that’s just a small snapshot of the many ways we’ve found to decrease our carbon footprint. The result: beautiful, environmentally friendly flooring and reduced impact on the planet. After all, Mohawk’s not just doing this for show; we’re doing it for generations to come.
