Evergreen Nylon Recycling, Shaw's nylon recycling operation in Augusta, Georgia, employs patented technology that converts post-consumer nylon carpet and recycles it back to its original material - the building block for nylon fiber. As a result of this technology, carpets of Nylon 6 are capable of being recycled into new carpet repeatedly without the loss of any aesthetic or performance properties.

Partnering with a number of recycling companies, Shaw has established a collection network to bring post-consumer carpets to Evergreen for recycling. Currently, the collection system is operational in a number of locations throughout the country, and they’re adding areas to their network continuously.
The recycled content they are able put into their products from this process represents a nationwide environmental benefit.

Shaw carpeting is offered by PATCO and samples can be seen in our New Home Personalization Studio in Sanford. Ask about other “green” options that are available for your new home!
