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 more expensive 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 will be used in the development with upgrade options for other environmentally friendly products like cork flooring.
- We will also be using 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 will report our actual results.
