    Reduce Landfill Waste

    Waste is piling up around our planet, billions of tons annually. What’s worse, global waste production is expected to double by 2013. Much of that ends up in landfills, with as much as 40 percent coming from construction projects. Together, we can help drive down that number.

    Save Money

    While we’re at it, we can drive down your project budget. Reclaimed materials are typically available at a 15 to 20 percent savings over new. You’ve heard of win-win situations? This is the real deal.

    Save Time

    Your time is another valuable commodity. So we’ve worked to ensure a streamlined process that allows you to make smart, informed decisions: we offer insight, source materials, test for quality, and document for LEED and Living Building Challenge certification. This frees you to focus on what you do best.
