Shaw Industries announced that customers can now return a minimum of 100 square yards of EcoWorx carpet tile and either drop off material at a local Shaw Regional Distribution Center or have it picked up at no charge.
Launched in 1999 as the flooring industry’s first PVC-free, fully recyclable carpet tile, EcoWorx carries an Environmental Guarantee to be picked up at no charge at the end of its useful life on the floor. Facilitated through the re[TURN]® Reclamation Program, Shaw has reclaimed and recycled almost one billion pounds of carpet, including EcoWorx, since 2006. Reverse logistics of Shaw’s expansive transportation fleet and utilization of the company’s 30 RDCs throughout the United States has allowed Shaw to lower the minimum requirement of the Environmental Guarantee for EcoWorx in the US from 500 square yards to 100 square yards and provide the option to customers wishing to drop material off at a local RDC or schedule for pickup at their facility or warehouse.
