INITIATIVE | 004 At Shaw, our product solutions are proof of our commitment to a sustainable future. By utilizing the philosophy of Cradle to Cradle in the development of products such as Eco Solution Q®, we're helping our communities and our planet by diverting waste from landfills and reducing the amount of raw materials we use in the production cycle.
Eco Solution Q is a premium branded fiber from Shaw Fibers, the largest producer of solution dyed nylon. It contains a minimum of 25% recycled content. And, as a Cradle to Cradle product, EcoSolution Q is fully recyclable back into carpet fiber through depolymerization. This means that Eco Solution Q can be recycled in a continuous loop again and again, forever. Today, Eco Solution Q utilizes an average of 23 million pounds of recycled content annually. This amount will continue to increase as production levels rise. And Eco Solution Q has been fully assessed by the MBDC protocol to ensure it is safe for human health.
Not only is Eco Solution Q better for you and the environment, it actually performs better too. Eco Solution Q sets new benchmarks in durability and tensile strength. At Shaw, we understand the demands placed on carpet, and we will continue to stand by our product with exceptional warranty coverage you can trust.
Shaw is a vertically integrated company, which means we control all aspects of our carpet production. We are able to guarantee quality at each step of the manufacturing process, from raw material to the delivery of your carpet. Eco Solution Q is just one of the ways we're working to provide you with a better product, without compromising our communities and our planet. That's the Shaw Green Edge.
