INITIATIVE | 029 At Shaw, we're always looking for innovative ways to reduce the amount of carpet waste entering landfills. Sometimes a little technology goes a long way in the conservation of material resources, time and energy.
Shaw Custom Design utilizes CAD technology to simulate carpet samples on paper, which are remarkably accurate in texture and coloration. Xamples are intended to replace actual carpet samples in the early stages of selection, thereby saving time, conserving resources and reducing landfill waste. The paper simulations are printed on 100% recyclable paper, use far fewer resources to produce, and ship lighter, faster, and at a reduced cost.
Shaw is dedicated to the utilization of innovative techniques and smart solutions, reducing unnecessary burdens on the planet's resources. That's our Green Edge commitment.
