INITIATIVE | 030 At Shaw, we're constantly seeking out ways to provide you with a better product by vertically integrating our process so we can control what goes in, and what comes out.
Anso® Nylon is a name you can trust. It is the longest standing, continuously marketed fiber brand in the residential floorcovering industry. Anso® Nylon is among the best fibers available, providing exceptional performance, and built-in stain and crush resistance. Shaw's residential carpet line is now featuring this fiber throughout its product offerings.
Anso® Nylon products are composed of Nylon 6 that can be recycled back into carpet fiber again and again, endlessly. It all happens at Shaw's Evergreen Nylon Recycling facility in Augusta, Georgia. Evergreen employs patented technology that takes post-consumer carpet and breaks it down to its original components, which are then used to make more carpet fiber. All this without any degradation in performance or limitations in color and styling.
Shaw purchased the Anso® Nylon brand from Honeywell International in 2005, bringing Shaw one step closer to attaining our goal of Cradle to Cradle production throughout our product offering. You will notice that the Anso® Nylon logo has changed from blue to green. It's all part of Shaw's demonstrable commitment to Green Edge thinking.
