Reduce environmental costs by reusing non-asbestos building materials
By reusing non-asbestos building materials, you also reduce environmental costs caused by new product manufacturing.
You can also reduce the cost of living in your home by choosing resource-efficient materials and designs that lower monthly bills and require less frequent replacement.
Focus on long-term savings, ease of maintenance, and conservation; not just initial price. A low purchase price may simply mean a good deal, a lack of quality or durability, or that some environmental, health, or social costs are not included in the price tag.
When you choose professional-quality materials, finishes and hardware, you minimize waste down the road by delaying replacement.
