Nation's first waste carpet-to-energy project to benefit Shaw, its customers and Dalton residents
Customers of Shaw Industries, as well as residents of Dalton, Ga., will soon benefit from the nation's first waste carpet-to-energy project.
Shaw and Siemens Building Technologies have developed a process for converting carpet and wood manufacturing waste into steam energy. The process is expected to decrease plant emissions, significantly reduce the amount of post-manufacturing carpet waste in landfills and save Shaw's Dalton plant as much as $2.5 million per year.
