Materials & Resources Durable and Eco-Friendly
To minimize Dockside Green's eco-footprint, we are committed to utilizing recycled content, sustainably harvested materials, and rapidly renewable resources; while at the same time minimizing construction and household waste.
- carpets are carefully selected based on low emissions and environmental qualities.
- we use carpet tiles for corridors in the residential builds as this will reduce long term maintenance and waste for condo owners. In addition we purchase our tiles from Interface global, a sustainable business leader utilizing their "Cool Carpet™" program which means their products are GHG neutral.
- Bamboo flooring and cabinets are used with upgrade options for other environmentally friendly products like cork flooring.
- We also use some salvaged wood products to promote sustainable harvesting practices.
- Our wood frame town homes are using Triton Wood, which comes from old growth standing trees that were harvested from reservoirs in British Columbia.
- Our goal is to recycle or reuse 90% of our construction waste on site and we report our actual results.
