Environmentally Friendly

Making useful products that enhance lives is important. Making them in way that is sustainable for this generation and the ones that follow is paramount. At Trusscore, environmental responsibility and sustainability is a core part of our corporate mission.

We manufacture a range of PVC-based wall panel products for residential, commercial, and agriculture applications. By leveraging material science and nanotechnology, we continually improve our products and their performance. And we do so with this additional goal: to make our planet healthier, more welcoming, and more liveable. A place for us all.

 Sustainable Building Design

The building sector generates nearly 40% of the annual global greenhouse gas emissions. With global building stock continuing to rise and expected to double in area over the next 40 years, we face a challenging issue. How to construct and operate buildings that reduce environmental impacts. Otherwise, we will continue to see the impact the building sector has on the environment continue to rise. 

 Recycle and Reuse

As part of our focus on continuous innovation, Trusscore leverages advancements in material science to improve the performance and environmental impact of our products.

An estimated 75% of drywall ends up in landfills, where it makes up 25% to 40% of the national solid waste stream. Once drywall reaches the landfill, it decomposes to produce hydrogen sulfide gas and leachate chemicals like sulfates.

 Unlike drywall, Trusscore products have a service life of up to 100 years and are 100% recyclable. While we aim to reduce material waste by offering custom product sizes, Trusscore off-cuts and excess material can be recycled up to six or seven times to make new PVC-based building materials. To make recycling Trusscore easy for our customers, we offer a full circle recycling program in partnership with Return Polymers and directly through our manufacturing facilities. 

Since our products are recyclable and reusable, Trusscore can contribute to LEED certification under the Materials and Resources category. Visit our Trusscore & LEED Certification page to learn more.

Zero Production Waste

By incorporating recycled material in our products and our commitment to using raw materials with low environmental impact, we are developing more sustainable building products.

In our productions process, we recycle all production waste internally or externally and have implemented an innovative hot knife cutting technology that reduces waste generated.

We have also made investments to reduce the amount of water used in our production process by investing in a closed-loop water recirculation system that allowed Trusscore to recycle 99% of the water used in our production process in 2020.

More Durable and Resilient Buildings

Preserving the value of new and existing buildings by selecting materials that enhance their durability and performance is a crucial consideration. The lifespan and benefits derived during the use of a building product impact not only the sustainability of a building but also the aesthetics and functionality of the spaces they construct.

Trusscore products are durable and long-lasting — typically outlasting the structure it’s installed in. The superior performance and extended lifespan of our products delivers a 55% lower total cost of ownership compared to alternatives like drywall attributed to reduced labor and lower maintenance and operational costs.

At Trusscore, we’re committed to changing the way we build, for the better.
