Will the artificial turf fade over time? How long-lasting is the turf?

In most cases, artificial grass is disposed directly into landfills, using up precious space. Shaw offers a better alternative through the Green Edge Recycling Program. Once synthetic turf is removed, we are able to repurpose it in a variety of ways including carpet backing, mats, rugs, sheet goods and more.

Sand filling from the artificial grass product is mechanically extracted from the turf, separated and then put through a cleaning process. The infill can then be used in future fields or used as materials for new products.

Shaw has recycled upwards of half of a billion pounds of carpet since 2007 and opened two state-of-the-art recycling facilities — Evergreen (nylon 6 recycling) and Re2E (Reclaim to Energy). Today, Shaw supplies hundreds of fully certified Cradle to Cradle flooring products.
