Who we are: Multidisciplinary team of 20 FTE, including urban planners, civil engineers, economists, scientists, architects, LEED APs, GIS. What we do: Develop innovative programs and market-driven solutions Build sustainable markets Convene diverse stakeholders Inform better policy

5 Waste is Material in a System

9 Major Strategies Reducing C&D Moving Buildings Recycling Deconstruction Salvage and Reuse

10 Moving Buildings Structures: barn, house, cabin, shed, garage and equipment. Approaches: Disassemble Transport whole Cowles Center: February, days 5.8 million pounds Guinness Book of Records.

12 Recycling concrete, asphalt and shingles, gypsum wallboard, wood, porcelain, tile metals, masonry, plastic, carpet, insulation.

13 C & D Products New Goods Aggregate Alt Daily Cover Soil Amendment Mulch or Biomass for Fuel Cardboard, paper, plastics, porcelain and metals Crushed concrete Dirt, rock and sand Gypsum drywall Wood

14 DECONSTRUCTION: The process of dismantling buildings in away that allows for reuse of building materials. REUSE: To give material a second life without being shredded, chipped, grinded, melted, or smelted.

15 VACANT Structure = HIDDEN ASSETS

16 Hidden assets = hidden values

17 Low cost alternatives to new products

18 Value Added Products

19 ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS Reduced toxic dust from job site Reduced heavy metal leaching into soil Reduced waste to landfills Reduced consumption of virgin material

20 ECONOMIC BENEFITS Jobs from removing structures Resale of lumber Resale of flooring, woodwork, lighting, plumbing, and fixtures at lower cost. Sale of value-added products Remove barriers to redevelopment

22 Negative Factors Poorly secured No roof Water damage Fire damage Built after 1960 Positive Factors Secured Roof Little damage Built earlier than 1960

24 Material Suppliers Renovation Contractors Home Owners Interior Designers Demo Contractors Building Supply Stores Builders Material Supply Haulers

25 Material Sellers Decon Contractors Value add Processor Reuse Warehouses C&D Recycling Centers Non-Facility Brokers Architectural Salvage

26 Deconstruction Contractors Photograph and pre-sell items or sell later Sometimes have storage Sometimes distribute from decon site Frequently use Facebook, and Instagram Sometimes have nonprofit partnership which provide tax write off to decon client

27

28 Provide market for unique and valuable design elements Sometimes have antiques Typically cater to affluent markets

29 Source materials from property owners and re-sell directly to clients or into secondary markets. Transactions may be through web-based sales, proprietary warehousing, limited or public auctions, or through donations to existing reuse warehouses.

34 Build the team Publicly funded deconstruction Supportive regulation Clear processes Subsidized deconstruction training Reentry workforce partnerships Recognition for good actors

35

36

37 Set bar for contractors(ie BMRA credential) Leverage predemolition surveys to identify reuse materials Include reuse materials in your bid Include material accepting orgs in bid Host walk through of properties Set a reuse and a recycling goal (monetary or %) Encourage the use workforce development trainees

38 Cook County set a reuse(5%) and recycling goal(70%) for all demolition Portland: requires deconstruction for houses and duplexes built in 1916 or earlier or designated as a historic resource regardless of age Foster City requires 50% of C&D to be recycled Orange County, NC requires waste planning and regulates that specific materials have to be recycled (corrugated cardboard, clean wood (wood that has not been painted or treated) and scrap metal.
