Material Health
Materials are the skin of our interiors. The materials we choose create environments that have a direct impact on our health & wellbeing.
For more than 20 years we have invested in material health with our EcoWorx® PVC-free carpet tile backing, the first flooring product to be Cradle to Cradle Certified®.
And it is Shaw’s goal to have 100% of products Cradle to Cradle Certified by 2030.
