CONSERVING NATURAL RESOURCES

	Engineered Lumber Engineered wood materials uses trees that are fast growing, plentiful lumber species which reduces the amount of old-growth timber that is harvested. Engineered wood material is a more uniform product than traditional lumber framing. Wall studs are purported to not bow, warp, twist or shrink once they are installed. They have few defects, such as cracking, splitting, knots and wane which would result in material waste. Oriented Strand Board (OSB) is composed of fast growth tree species that are an ecologically sustainable alternative to large dimensional lumber.

	Asphalt Composite Shingles Approximately 11 million tons of waste asphalt roofing shingles are generated in the U.S. per year. Re-roofing jobs account for 10 million tons, with another 1 million from manufacturing scrap. The longer the life of the roof, and by using materials which have the potential of being recycled, the less material that goes to the landfill.

	Aluminum Foundation Forms Typical foundation forms are made from wood whereas the aluminum forms can be used many more times than the wood. Since aluminum forms can be used for years, they reduce the amount of construction waste produced.

	Recycling Plan Reducing job site waste is ecologically mindful and garners a better public image. KEM implements cardboard and lumber recycling bins.
