Most of the time, synthetic turf is disposed directly into landfills, using up precious space. Shaw offers an improved alternative through the Green Edge Recycling Program. Once synthetic turf is removed, we are prepared to repurpose it in several different ways including rugs, mats, sheet goods, carpet backing and more.
Sand infill from the artificial grass product is mechanically extracted from the turf, separated and then put through a cleansing process. The filling can then be used in future fields or used as materials for other products.
Shaw has recycled more than half of a billion pounds of carpet since 2007 and opened two cutting-edge recycling facilities — Evergreen (nylon 6 recycling) and Re2E (Reclaim to Energy). Today, Shaw supplies hundreds of fully certified Cradle to Cradle flooring products.

live in the artificial grass. While we can’t guarantee that your yard will be 100%
pest-free, you can be sure they will be virtually
eliminated. Because there’s no soil to
support their nesting, you must keep an eye out for any
collection of leaves or debris that can
make a good breeding ground for fleas and ticks. As long as you keep up with your

pests.

to help get rid of odors, but there are steps you
can take to ensure there's no
unpleasant smell persist. We advise you use a solution
of equal parts H2O and white vinegar to spray Fido’s
favorite bathroom area. Let it dry to neutralize any unpleasant odor, if the SWG system was not used.
