A traditional demolition wastes an entire building. If you do a 'deconstruction' you can reuse up to 90% of the materials!
When you think of demolition, you probably think of dynamite and a building crumbling into a bunch of useless rubble. Well, a new form of environmentally friendly demolition called 'deconstruction' might just change that stigma in your mind. But, what exactly is deconstruction?
Deconstruction is a process that involves removing materials from the building and sorting them into piles of things that can be reused, and what can be recycled. When executed properly, deconstruction has resulted in 90% of materials from a building being reused, rather than ending up in a landfill!
