Green demolition is the disassembly of a building structure, which ensures that as many of the building’s components can be recycled or reused without being sent to landfills and eventually causing pollution to the soil and water.

Achieving the objective of green demolition often requires working in reverse to how the home was originally constructed so that as many parts can be preserved. The salvaged parts can then be reused in the construction process, recycled, donated, or in the worst cases, placed in a landfill.

This blog looks at the materials that can be salvaged from an industrial building demolition for recycling.

1 - Concrete

Concrete is the most widely used material in construction, so that a demolition project can turn out tons of concrete. The salvaged concrete can be crushed to form gravel, a highly in-demand material in new construction projects.

Contractors who undertake commercial demolition in Los Angeles deploy huge concrete crushers at the demolition site itself to process the concrete.

2 - Interior doors and beams.

Depending on their condition, wooden doors and beams can be mostly sold or reused. Many architectural salvage companies are ready to purchase these types of materials.

Care should be taken while removing doors and windows so as not to be damaged during the takedown. Items like aluminum siding, doors, and windows can find many commercial and household applications.

3 – Steel

Steel salvaged from the site by demo services in Los Angeles can be recycled to form new products. 98% of the structural steel from demolition can be recycled back into new steel materials with no loss of properties.

Structural steel allows itself to be recycled multiple times.

4 – Toilets and sinks

Architectural salvage companies usually reclaim sinks and toilets that are in good condition. Porcelain models that cannot be reused can be recycled along with the concrete, and stainless steel fixtures are recycled with other metal scrap items.

Final Word

More demo services in Los Angeles will adopt green demolition if it becomes more economical to recycle and repurpose materials than sending them to a landfill.
