| Converting recycled
materials into something new . . .
Our goal is to bring building materials with
recycled content into the main stream. This site is designed for the specifier as a
tool to obtain information about and samples of building materials made
with recycled content. It can be helpful in acquiring points for the
LEEDs program. Information, specifications, color charts and
more can be viewed on screen or printed out. Examples of installations,
restroom partitions, furniture and specialty products made with these
materials can be viewed in the material's Gallery section, in the
Products area of this site and below. |
. . . All
made in the USA
