Green Building
LifeTime Lumber is Sustainable
In the new green era of building, many companies are getting on the eco-friendly bandwagon, but some fall short on closer examination.
Rather that turning an existing company green, we started as a green company. We invite you to take that closer look at our product, specifications, and how it's manufactured.
Here are specific ways that LifeTime Lumber is helping to protect the environment.
• Our products are made from more than 60% recycled material certified by Scientific Certification Systems.*
• With no wood in our products, deforestation is reduced. And the substantial energy used to harvest and transport forest products across the country or from other countries is eliminated.
• Structures made from LifeTime Lumber will not leach or off-gas toxic chemicals into the surrounding environment.
• All LifeTime Lumber products are manufactured utilizing a proprietary, energy-efficient process.
• LifeTime Lumber is long-lasting, saving materials, energy and transportation needed for replacement.
• The application of environmentally damaging protective finishes or oils is not necessary.
And once you've wrapped up your project, all it takes is a little creative inspiration to turn any extra material from your job into excellent and attractive benches, picnic tables, planters, potting areas and much more.
Commercial/Public Projects. For public or commercial projects, LifeTime Lumber is compliant with a wide range of sustainability programs. Because it's made with more than 60% recycled material, it complies with the requirements for LEED 4.1 and 4.2 credits.
