>Construction-related waste accounts for about one-fourth of total 
>landfilled waste in the United States, yet many construction 
>materials can be recycled and reused. Current trends in green 
>building make it easier than ever to deconstruct, reuse and recycle 
>building materials. Reducing and recycling C&D debris conserves 
>landfill space, reduces the environmental impact of producing new 
>materials, creates jobs, and can reduce overall building project 
>expenses through avoided purchase/disposal costs.
>
>Deconstruction and Beneficial Use: The Other Side of Building Green 
>offers a full day of educational programs featuring industry and 
>government experts discussing current business, operations, and 
>regulatory trends and how they are impacting construction and 
>demolition recycling and reuse.The conference will cover a full 
>spectrum of building materials conservation from construction, 
>renovation, and demolition debris management to the incorporation of 
>reused and recycled materials into new and renovation construction.
