ALL FOR REUSE GOALS

Reduce Waste & Emissions

Your commitment can close the loop between disposal and production, reducing landfilling and eliminating emissions from extraction and manufacturing of new materials.

Foster New Circular
Economy Businesses

Your commitment to buying reclaimed will send a signal to the marketplace and encourage new enterprises to meet the demand, putting people to work while growing the green economy.

Accelerate the Rate of Change

We have no time to spare, and must act quickly to slow climate change. Your commitment will advance our shift to a circular economy much faster than through small incremental moves.

All For Reuse vision

ALL projects will be evaluated as opportunities FOR REUSE.

ALL designers and builders will understand the process FOR REUSE.

ALL owners will commit to paying FOR REUSE.

ALL FOR REUSE seeks commitments from owners/operators of large building portfolios to utilize some level of reclaimed materials in forthcoming projects.

• LARGE PRIVATE COMPANIES
• COLLEGES & UNIVERSITIES
• GOVERNMENT AGENCIES
  

We want to leverage the power of the purse to accelerate the rate of change to a circular economy in building design and construction.

THE COMMITMENT

We recognize that an enormous volume of commercial TI materials are landfilled prematurely and that increasing reuse of these building products can reduce waste, save embodied carbon, and preserve natural resources and ecosystems. Realizing such benefits will require a paradigm shift in how commercial spaces are fit out, requiring change across the entire value chain. As building owners and tenants, we recognize the need to take the first step in taking on this challenge and will request our design and construction teams to incorporate reclaimed materials in building fitouts. Such actions include:

• Identifying deconstruction, reclamation, and resale partners
• Considering specific reclaimed material options within the material palette
• Beginning to adapt the design process to maximize reuse
• Creating and supporting the infrastructure needed to facilitate reuse

LET'S FACE IT

Construction is extremely wasteful. Commercial interior renovation projects in the US send 32 million tons of waste to the landfill every year - much of it in like-new condition. We then replace those materials with similar materials one, which had to be extracted, manufactured and delivered to the building.

The CO2 emissions are piling up. Building construction accounts for at least 11% of total CO2 emissions, and likely much more.

We cannot continue this way! Let’s put those like-new building materials to good use, by deconstructing, warehousing, and redistributing them to new projects.

Become a part of the solution

We are pushing for monumental change in how commercial buildings are designed and constructed. This requires patience, collaboration, and, most importantly, YOU! Regardless of where you are or what you do, we need everyone to be ALL FOR REUSE. Please sign up below to stay in the loop, and let us know if you are interested in shaping how this initiative unfolds.
