World's Largest Carpet Manufacturer Invests in GeoHay's Sustainable Erosion Control and Stormwater Management Products
GeoHay, LLC, manufacturer of patented, environmentally-friendly  barrier filtration products made from recycled fibers, is proud of its new partnership with Shaw Industries Group, Inc. GeoHay opens a new channel for Shaw's re-use of the post-consumer carpet it collects nationally."This is new territory for Shaw," says Vance Bell, chief executive officer of Shaw. "But with more than 3.5 billion pounds of post-consumer carpet ending up in landfills every year, we know we must look beyond the traditional flooring industry for additional solutions." Shaw's investment in GeoHay diversifies the floor covering company's portfolio of uses for post-consumer carpet. "GeoHay products are created with 100% reclaimed carpet fiber - and they play an important role in controlling erosion and stormwater runoff," said GeoHay Chief Executive Officer Dan Hargett. "Shaw's post-consumer carpet reclamation program and its commitment to sustainability through innovation make them an ideal investment partner as we look to the future and our need to support a continued rapid growth rate."
