关于我们

Build Reuse is a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit established in 1994 that serves as the premier national organization encouraging the recovery, reuse, and recycling of building materials in the United States. We are also committed to developing social investment and workforce development programs in the deconstruction industry. Build Reuse is the host and organizer of the annual Deconstruction and Reuse Conference, the only conference in North America that focuses on how communities can create, develop, and support reuse economies. Our vision is to transform our communities by creating a building industry in which used and excess materials become an asset and waste is no longer acceptable. Construction and demolition waste is the largest single-stream source of refuse in the United States. We believe that the present linear economic model that relies on the consumption of new products and materials is unsustainable. We know that the practice of reuse inherently recognizes and prioritizes existing community value. Reinvesting the wealth embodied in existing materials back into the communities from which they originated has enormous economic, environmental, cultural, and social potential. We’re imagining a world without waste - and with the support of our members, we’re taking collective strides to make this vision a reality. Become a member today! www.buildreuse.org

    For the latest episode of our podcast, we (Lindsay Baker and Kira Gould) talked with the inspiring Shannon Goodman about building reuse and abut building community. Shannon is the Executive Director of the LIFECYCLE BUILDING CENTER in Atlanta, which has redirected nearly 13 million pounds of usable materials away from landfills and generated more than $6 million in community savings. Shannon also serves as Board President for the nonprofit Build Reuse, representing reuse-focused organizations across the U.S. We talked to her about running a nonprofit and about the changes afoot in the AEC field. “We are in the midst of a massive mind shift,” she says. “It's only going to work if people actually see that there is value. We have to stop thinking about these materials as waste. They are resources.” Shannon’s vision for the reuse work is that “the entire process of what we do gets really sexy for people,” she says. “I look forward to a time when people are compelled by the stories they are hearing of what has been saved and reused. They will think, ‘I want a piece of that for my work.’ That is only going to happen if we make it really easy to tell those stories.” Listen at https://lnkd.in/gwm5bFJR or on your favorite podcast platform.
