Conclusion
Planning for the reclamation of building
materials in the demolition phase is a priority
because it directly reduces contributions to
landfills and increases the likelihood
reclamation is done properly within time
restrictions.
Design professionals can further support a
circular economy by selecting sustainable
products, including researching those with
recycled content and avoiding those with
possible VOCs. HPD, EPD, and the
Underwriters Laboratories (UL) Greenguard Shearing separates the reusable fibers of post-
certifications can be a valuable resource when consumer broadloom carpet, thereby limiting
evaluating products. Striving for LEED waste
certification and the WELL standard will also
place higher emphasis on selecting
transparent and sustainable materials.
Utilizing programs such as EPR and Cradle-to-
Cradle will increase the ability for materials to
be reclaimed. It is important to implement all
of these aspects in the design process. https://www.constructionspecifier.com/the-circular-economy/4/
