Introduction |
|
Recycled products are becoming
more widespread in their availability, cost-effectiveness, and applicability.
The government has begun rating systems and incentives to encourage
contractors to use recycled products. As networks for recycled products
are appearing in Washington and other states, architects and builders
are interested in learning more about recycled products. |

King County's definition of green building
is: Designing, constructing and operating buildings and landscapes
to incorporate energy efficiency, water conservation, waste minimization,
pollution prevention, resource-efficient materials, and indoor environmental
quality in all phases of a building's life (1999 Northwest Regional
Sustainable Building Action Plan). |
