The environmental importance of asset recovery in demolition is underestimated. Debris produced from construction and demolition projects make up almost 40% of the landfill stream in the US, amounting to about 136 million tons of trash annually.
Every time a building is demolished and replaced with a more energy efficient building, it takes nearly 50 years to recover the project's environmental impact, directly affecting future generations. As natural resources dwindle and materials become more expensive to produce, reusing and recycling becomes an important component to reducing costs, limiting waste and lowering carbon footprints. By using a demolition company that prioritizes "green demolition", like MIWEC Asset Recovery Inc, you can do your part to help slow down climate change.
