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

There are a lot of reasons that artificial grass is a great option for Asheville pet owners! First and foremost, it's much easier to care for than real grass — you won't have to worry about trimming, saving you valuable time and money. Additionally, artificial grass is more tough than natural grass, so it can withstand pets playing. Plus, artificial grass is chemical-free and safe, making it safe for your pets.
It's not easy for fleas, ticks, and other pests to
survive in the artificial
turf. While we can’t guarantee that your yard will be completely free of pests, you can count on
them to be virtually
eliminated. Because there’s no soil to
support their nesting, you should keep an eye out for any
accumulation of leaves or debris that could
make a good breeding environment for fleas and ticks. As long as you maintain your
artificial lawn regularly, there will be barely any
pests.
Indeed, our synthetic grass looks and feels just like natural grass, so your pets will be able to play on it like they would a regular grass lawn. They can roll around on the grass to their heart's content!

Artificial grass is odorless, so if any smells do occur,
it’s usually caused by animal
waste. Many dogs prefer to use one area of the lawn to do their business,
so sometimes, you can get a little more of a concentration
of odor. Southwest Green's pet-turf system is designed
to help neutralize odors, but there are steps you
can take to ensure no smells persist. We advise you use a solution
of equal parts H2O and vinegar to spray Fido’s
favorite bathroom area. Let it dry to neutralize any unpleasant odor, if the SWG system was not used.
Our
top-quality artificial turf is designed to be resilient and
lasting, with a life
expectancy of up to 20 years with

products look and function like new because they are
built to withstand lots of traffic, inclement weather, and changes in temperature for all-year use.

fading and discoloration.
