Shaw EcoSolution Q

Shaw EcoSolution Q is a nylon carpet fiber made with recycled material, including recovered ocean plastic and textile waste in the product description. It is intended to reduce reliance on virgin nylon while retaining the performance expected from a flooring fiber.

EcoSolution Q is nylon, specifically a Type 6 continuous-filament nylon used in Shaw flooring products. That distinguishes it from polyester carpet fibers, which use a different polymer and have different wear and appearance characteristics.

Shaw uses EcoSolution Q as a face fiber for carpet and broadloom flooring rather than as a general-purpose clothing yarn. The fiber is designed for repeated foot traffic, color retention, and carpet manufacturing requirements.

The key difference is the feedstock: EcoSolution Q incorporates regenerated or recycled material instead of relying only on newly produced nylon inputs. Shaw markets the resulting fiber as a lower-waste alternative while keeping nylon-based carpet performance.
