Atlanta Receives EPA Grant for Deconstruction Pilot Program

In November 2019, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) presented the EPA Region 4 Sustainable Materials Management grants to Lifecycle Building Center in Atlanta, GA.

“We applaud our local partners for their continued work to use and reuse materials more productively over their entire life cycles,” said EPA Region 4 Administrator Mary S. Walker. “EPA is proud to invest in organizations that find new opportunities to reduce environmental impacts, conserve resources and reduce costs.”

Lifecycle Building Center received $50,000 to fund deconstruction pilot training and the creation of a Reuse for Communities Toolkit. The Building Materials Reuse Association will use the toolkit to educate communities across the country and develop a network of deconstruction and reclamation with the goal of increasing the job market.
