Why Shaw


BP and Shaw Industries have enjoyed a very successful relationship for over a decade now. Over the last ten years Shaw has supplied BP with carpeting in various locations such as Los Angeles, Chicago, Naperville, Anchorage, Calgary, London, Trinidad, Singapore, New York, Washington DC, and Wayne, NJ.

More importantly, BP and Shaw share a firm commitment to the environment. For years BP has been the producer of the cleanest fossil fuels available for public consumption. More recently, BP has dedicated enormous resources and capital toward developing technology associated with wind and solar power generation as illustrated in the recent "Beyond Petroleum" ad campaign seen on television.

By the same token, Shaw Industries has also made a major commitment to the environment by the adoption of its "Cradle to Cradle" environmental policy. This policy seeks to mimic nature's organic cycle of life, death, and rebirth. This commitment seeks to return carpet to carpet endlessly.

Shaw has developed Eco Solution Q nylon fiber and EcoWorx backing for its carpet tile products. These two technological developments enable Shaw to reclaim carpet tile at the end of its useful life, separate face fiber from backing, recycle old fiber into new fiber, old backing into new backing endlessly. Never having to deposit its carpet tile into a landfill.

BP has researched all of the various carpet recycling prgrams currently in use and determined that Shaw Industries has the most sustainable and substantive program available at this time. For this reason, BP has selected Shaw Industries as our exclusive carpet supplier in the Western Hemisphere.
