EPA’s: WAste Reduction Model

Range of Emissions Impact by Material Source: METALS

Base Case Metals and concrete recycled Other materials landfilled

Weight Processing/ Transport Emissions Reuse Emissions Recycle Emissions Combustion Emissions Landfill Emissions Material TonsTonnes Aluminum (recycled) Fiberglass (reused) Other0.39 Copper (recycled) Glass (reused) Wood Flooring (reused) Carpet (recycled, reused) Asphalt Shingles (recycled) Drywall (recycled) Steel (reused, recycled) Scrap Wood (landfill) Mixed C&D (landfill) Clean Wood (reused, recycled) Concrete (recycled) Total The Actual Story Higher reuse Higher recycling Some landfill

By weight, most material was recycled. Significant portion of non-foundation materials was landfilled.

WeightDisposal Emissions Reuse Emissions Recycle Emissions Combustion Emissions Landfill Emissions Maximize Reuse Recycling Assumptions MaterialTonsTonnes Aluminum Fiberglass Insulation Other Copper Glass Wood Flooring Carpet % reused, compared to 46% Asphalt Shingles % reused, rather than recycled Drywall Steel Medium Density Fiberboard/Scrap Wood % recycled rather than combusted, landfilled Mixed Construction and DemolitionDebris % recycled rather than landfilled Dimensional Lumber/Clean Wood % recycled rather than reused Concrete Total Maximum Reuse and Recycling

Emissions Savings by Scenario

Most emissions benefit due to wood Concrete – lot of weight, small benefit. ….and metals.

CostsDemolitionActualMaximum Foundation $ Deconstruction/Demolition $ $ Total $ $ Cost per tonne emissions $ $ -889 Cost per ton of material $ 56 $ 186 Financial Analysis

How far should you drive? Example: 130 miles to Boston

Reuse or recycle as much of the wood as possible Concrete has minimal impact on emissions Are we measuring/evaluating the right things? Transportation not as important as we thought! Planning, planning, planning Lessons Learned
