Understand the balance between durability and recyclability. Ask for ways that products can be refinished, resurfaced, or refurbished to extend their life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Leverage <\/strong>Documents<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"size-regular\">Prioritize reuse and recycling in the <strong>purchase agreement<\/strong>. This could influence how vendors develop products and will provide a starting point for clients\/purchasers\/facilities managers when they eventually consider demolition and renovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"size-regular\"><strong>Leases<\/strong> can include a \u201cPledge\u201d that sets guidelines for how the space can be renovated, used, and decommissioned responsibly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"size-regular\"><strong>Front-end specs<\/strong> can include language around landfill diversion as a default, with a cost built in. Clients can take that out if they are not interested, but at least it provides a prompt for a conversation.<br><br><strong>Owners\u2019 manuals<\/strong> can include suggested second-life or landfill diversion strategies.They can include recommended resources for asset management, resale, donation, or salvage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"size-regular\"><strong>Specs for recycled content<\/strong> need to move away from percentage of investment as the metric\u2014it should be based on volume of product.

Choose temporary fixtures and joints over adhesives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Partner up for VE and CA<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"size-regular\">Cost is still the biggest factor for contractors when it comes to selecting and installing product. Work closely with them through the product selection process, so that they are prepared to make the right decisions during value engineering and construction administration phases. Include the client\u2019s facilities team in these conversations so that they are aware of the decisions when they eventually demolish and renovate the space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\"
