A typical North American commercial construction project generates 2.5 pounds of solid waste per square foot of floor space. Forty percent of the waste stream in the U.S. is due to construction and demolition. Just about every piece of material delivered to the job site contains recyclables. Most builders throw all their trash into a dumpster and haul it away. Adaptive Builders chooses to recycle and reuse. Not only do we reuse, but we also use rapidly renewable materials. This includes items such as: bamboo, agrifiber, wheatboard, and cork.
