Changing the Way We Build, Together
Chez Trusscore, nous changeons la façon dont les gens construisent les bâtiments et l'empreinte environnementale qu'ils laissent derrière eux. Le développement durable étant au cœur de notre mission d'entreprise, notre objectif est de minimiser l'impact environnemental de nos produits à base de PVC tout au long de leur cycle de vie :
- Lors de la fabrication, nous réduisons au minimum les matières premières utilisées pour fabriquer nos produits en exploitant une installation zéro déchet, en utilisant des matériaux recyclés dans la mesure du possible et en broyant à nouveau les matériaux excédentaires créés au cours de la production.
- On the market, we offer a range of custom product sizes to reduce material waste during installation.
- Après l'achat de Trusscore, nous proposons un programme de recyclage complet, de sorte que les chutes et les matériaux excédentaires peuvent être recyclés jusqu'à six ou sept fois pour fabriquer de nouveaux matériaux de construction à base de PVC.
How to Recycle Trusscore Products
Whether you have material left over from a small garage renovation or from a large commercial project, there are three (3) ways to recycle Trusscore products:
1) Drop It Off in a Return Polymers FULL-CIRCLE Recycling Program Bin
We’re proud to partner with Return Polymers Inc. to support our recycling program.*
Through its FULL-CIRCLE Recycling program, Return Polymers delivers totes or bins to a central collection point, where contractors or do-it-yourselfers can drop off PVC off-cuts to be recycled. Return Polymers collects the bins and processes the leftover PVC material, which can then be recycled into new PVC-based building materials such as wall and ceiling board, decking, siding, and trim.
Acceptable scrap includes Trusscore PVC off-cuts, PVC deck scrap, PVC trim scrap, PVC siding scrap, and rigid forms of PVC like pipes or siding. Bins cannot be used to collect regular garbage, as that contaminates the recyclable material.
To inquire about getting set up with collection bins at your business or to find out about program availability in your region, fill out the form below. To learn more about the Return Polymers FULL-CIRCLE Recycling Program, visit their website.
*Currently available in select US states.
2) Recycle It Through a Municipal or Private Recycling Facility Near You
Trusscore products can also be recycled through municipal facilities or private recycling facilities where PVC material is accepted. This varies across North America, so be sure to check with your municipal recycling facility to find out if they accept and recycle PVC. If municipal recycling is available near year you, Trusscore products can be returned to the facility adhering to their guidelines.
3) Return It to a Trusscore Manufacturing Site
Trusscore customers can also return off-cuts directly to one of our two manufacturing sites in Canada. We recommend cutting any off-cuts down into 12-to-24-inch lengths and packaging the pieces together for safe shipment. To be accepted for recycling, Trusscore products should also be free from contaminants, including:
- Paint of any kind
- Silicone
- Lodged items such as screws or other fasteners, including picture hooks and pin nails
- Dirt, mud, salt, chemicals, oils, solvents, coatings, or any other substance
- Debris such as sawdust from wood or other materials
