Majority of Shaw Products Now Cradle- to-Cradle Certified
Shaw Industries recently released its 2016 sustainability report, highlighting progress toward its 2030 sustainability goals and other key metrics and initiatives. Chief among its accomplishments was that 85% of the products Shaw manufactures are now Cradle to Cradle Certified (based upon sales unit volume).
This achievement is a result of the recent addition of the company’s polyester carpet products to the already-existing portfolio of Cradle-to-Cradle Certified products. Among the most rigorous third-party assessment programs in the world, Cradle-to-Cradle Certified signifies the company’s strong performance in material health as well as recyclability, energy, water and social fairness.
