High Recycled-Content Materials

The use of high-recycled products helps both to reduce the need for virgin materials as well as the generation of landfill waste. Some examples include the Southface Eco Office lavatory counter made from 100% recycled plastic beverage and food containers, the composite shingles used to clad the Grand Bay NERR Visitors Center made from 100% recycled rubber from the automobile gasket and disposable diaper industries, and the back-lit wall at the Atlanta Zoo Conservation Action Resource Center formed with recycled Coca Cola bottles.
