The structures humans make to facilitate living, working, learning, healing, worship and recreation have a huge impact on our natural environment, economy, health and productivity. American buildings account for 65% of our nation’s electricity consumption, 30% of greenhouse gas emissions and 136 million tons of waste annually.

EnviroGLAS® is proud to be an active member of the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), a leading body in the movement to produce a new generation of buildings that minimize negative impacts on the environment and deliver high performance inside and out. Thanks to the USGBC, America is now realizing that we can build environmentally friendly buildings that at the same time are beautiful, financially sound and healthy for occupants. More and more people in the building industry are looking for products that contain recycled content, have a positive impact on indoor air quality, save energy and water and are produced locally to reduce the environmental costs of transportation.

The USGBC offers architects, designers, builders, facility managers, building owners, manufacturers and others the resources they need to build green buildings. LEED®, the "Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design" Green Building Rating System, is the nationally accepted standard for green buildings developed by the USGBC members. ‘Greenbuild’ is the USGBC don’t-miss annual convention that draws thousands of novices, intermediate and expert green builders all in one place. Greenbuild 2007 is November 7-9 at Chicago’s McCormick Place. Come see us and an exciting new product call EnviroPOXY at booth #1320.

EnviroGLAS® encourages those interested in greenbuilding products to join the USGBC and begin not only learning, but sharing their ideas to move sustainable building forward. We believe that great ideas come from give and take, so we also welcome questions and feedback on our environmentally friendly floors and countertops.

EnviroGLAS® converts post-consumer and industrial glass bound for the landfill into elegant, sustainable and ecological hard surfaces and landscaping materials. A recent independent analysis found that of the 69 LEED points available, EnviroGLAS Terrazzo can contribute to seven or more.
