Big Green Footprint

4/8/2010

Lightweight, recycled, and recyclable pavers are easy on the Earth; long on looks.

VAST composite masonry products offer up to 95% post-consumer recycled content. The pavers are made from recycled car tires and post-consumer plastic containers. The company offers lanscape pavers, permeable pabers for stormwater management, and deck pavers. Good news for installers: The paver system weighs 2/3 less than its concrete equivalent and you only need to wood saw to cut the pavers and their grids. The system is also cradle-to-cradle green since the pavers are 100% recyclable. The company recycles recovered pavers back into its manufacturing process. The product can contribute credits in up to 4 LEED categories.
