Reuse Building Materials |
From
Supreme Master Television News, Episode 168 |
The Building Materials Reuse Association,
the American Institute of Architects and West Coast Green have initiated
an exciting new project whose objective is to dramatically reduce the
levels of renovation and demolition debris. This waste normally accounts
for 91% of the entire disposal in US landfills. The secret is to develop
cost-effective disassembly techniques and design materials and components,
which can be recovered and reused easily. The potential environmental
benefits of building smart are astounding, including a reduction in waste
and energy costs. As environmental concerns are transforming traditional
thinking, eco-friendly efficiency is our next step into the future. Thanks
go out to all those involved in making this a reality.
