| Energy
Energy use is a primary environmental concern in today's world, as well
as a significant financial issue. Most manufacturers are dependent on fossil
fuels in their operations, and Shaw has developed a number of innovative
energy-saving processes that reduce fuel and electricity use. We even have
a facility that uses waste material to create steam energy, the first
of its kind in the industry.
Our
waste-to-energy (WTE)
project converts carpet and wood waste
to steam energy through a process called gasification. The facility converts
waste to energy that would otherwise come from fossil fuuels, sends less
solid waste to landfills, and saves over 2.5 million gallons of fuel a
year in just on of over sixty manufacturing facilities.
