5. PRODUCTS IMPACT Conservation of Materials Health & Well-Being many overlaps and synergies Environmental Preservation & Rehabilitation
6. THINK What it is made of and where does it come from? How does it impact indoor environments? many overlaps and synergies How does the use of product benefit the environment?
24. Disassemble and Dispose The carbon footprint is the amount of carbon emissions associated with that energy. DISCUSSION: Compare embodied energy of a reclaimed wood floor vs. teak wood floor. What products have high embodied energy?
27. Recyclable does not mean product contains Recycled ContentThe Mobius Loop or recycling symbol can be used for recycled or recyclable products
28. Product Sent to Landfill Consumer Uses Product Manufacturing & Packaging of Product Different Manufacturing Operation Raw Materials Extracted Material Separation & Processing Post Industrial Waste From Manufacturing POST vs. PRE-CONSUMER Waste Reduction does not constitute recycling Post-Consumer recycling occurs when end-of-life materials are rerouted into a new product, rather than to a landfill Post-Industrial (pre-consumer) recycling occurs when industrial scraps are used to create a new, different material
29. POST vs. PRE-CONSUMER Post-Industrial Fly ash byproduct can be used in concrete applications Post-Consumer Processed into decorative countertops
32. 3 Form is targeting to be a 0 waste facility 100% Post Consumer Recycled Content or 40% Post Industrial Recycled Content Full Circle Program works directly with indigenous artisans Take-back program Contributes to daylight and views of a building

35. 80% Less Energy to Produce 80% Post-Industrial Recycled Content Can be used as a pH additive for soils or can be returned to the production of EcoRock 10 out of 10 ASTM D3273 rating showing zero mold growth Cradle to Cradle (Gold) & Greenguard Less dust from installation process
42. Most commonly used for finishes and flooringDISCUSSION: Think outside of the box…what are some opportunities for “rapidly renewable” material? What is a likely synergy for many rapidly renewable materials?
43. RAPIDLY RENEWABLE MATERIAL Bamboo as a hardwood flooring alternative Linoleum from rapidly renewable and recycled sources
46. Agricultural byproducts like buckwheat hulls and cotton burrs used as a bulking substrate Fungal mycelium (like the roots of mushrooms) to bond this substrate together Growth is deactivated to eliminate spores
51. FSC CERTIFICATION FSC label is the most credible link between production and consumption of forest products FSC is a certification system with internationally recognized standards FSC is nationally represented in more than 50 countries around the world
65. Improve indoor air qualityDISCUSSION: How does a low maintenance product improve indoor air quality? Should embodied energy/carbon footprint calculation include durability and maintenance requirements?
66.
67. Made from 100% Post Industrial Recycled Glass or Porcelain No sealing or waxing Simple cleaning and maintenance
80. Reduced energy use (lighting accounts for 30-35% of electricity use in the commercial sector)
81.
82.
83. NFRC Approved Energy Star Rated Sound Transmission Class Rating up to 45 Options for Frames with recycled aluminum (10-20%) or FSC Certified Wood Increased Ventilation Reduce Building Footprint
