In order to utilize these recycled materials, manufacturing facilities will emerge to find uses for them. As more recycling plants are built and more products are manufactured, we will gain a greater un-derstanding of the entire process. • Recycling creates jobs: EPA estimates that recycling 10,000 tons of materials would create 36 jobs com-

Specifying recycled materials Where practical, specifying recycled materials is a more sustainable practice than compared ... of building materials by measuring the amount of resources required at the development, transport and disposal phases of their lifecycle. In other words, a cradle to grave analysis.

Greater efforts are needed to put on the End-Of-Life (EOL) of building materials. Recycling, reusing and recovering of demolished wastes can either help relieve the landfill capacity or ‘regain’ some energy from existing building materials in order to reduce the embodied energy use for in the next new built building.

Reuse of Materials and Byproducts in Construction: Waste Minimization and Recycling addresses use of waste and by products in the construction industry. An over view of new "green" design guides to encourage best practice will be examined and current legislation that channels on site practices, such as site waste management plans.

In the past, the green building movement has taken a prescriptive approach to choosing building materials. This approach assumes that certain prescribed practices—such as the use of local materials or products with recycled content—are better for the environment regardless of the product's manufacturing process or disposal. Fortunately,

Green Building Materials 3 LEED Definition • an internationally recognized green building certification system • provides third-party verification that a community or building was designed and built using strategies aimed at improving performances in energy savings, water efficiency, CO2 emissions/ reductions, improved indoor

Building materials account for about half of all materials used and about half the solid waste generated worldwide. They have an environmental impact at every step of the building process—extraction of raw materials, processing, manufacturing, transportation, construction and disposal at the end of a building's useful life.

Waste materials are a major environmental problem, which is a threat to the environment. It is important to reuse these materials and dispose of them. Waste can be used in the construction industry in two ways: by reusing (reuse components) and recycling (processing waste into raw materials used in the production of building materials).
