Your old Carpet is Recycled and Reused. It has been for 5+ years

 Manufacturers like Mohawk and Shaw are using recycled materials like P.E.T. plastics in their carpet yarns. Not only is the use of plastic beverage bottles good for our environment, but they are finding the yarns superior to those using lower grades of synthetic fibers. (Shaw Green Edge)

 We are committed to environmentally responsible business practices . We believe that the way that we live today impacts the world for generations to come. Old carpet does not have to end up in an overflowing landfill. Here is how we work with our partner at Shaw Floors.
