Shaw’s Anso and Zeftron fiber divisions have earned
third-party Cradle to Cradle Silver certification from McDonough Braungart
Design Chemistry. The designation ensures that all Anso and Zeftron products
are made using Green materials, offer easy recycling and showcase “energy
efficiency and social responsibility,” Shaw said.
“This certification simply
reinforces our message about the environmental preference of our carpets,”
noted Mike Leary, Shaw Fibers’ director of sales and marketing.
Shaw’s Anso nylon can be
recycled into new fiber repeatedly. Additionally, the company’s Zeftron
commercial fiber is easily recyclable through the company’s 6ix Again program
and offers a minimum 25 percent recycled content, Shaw noted.
