Deconstruction and Recycling

The evolution of both recycling and the environment regulations have created a new vogue word “Deconstruction”. Deconstruction has revolutionized the demolition industry. This new trend is making conventional demolition a thing of the past - it’s no longer just a traditional material removal and disposal industry. Rather, it has progressed to a highly sophisticated, environmentally friendly deconstruction, recycle and salvage opportunity. 

Today, with all the options of recycling and building codes changing the building’s deconstructed materials are frequently reintroduced into the construction materials supply chain. The salvage industry has grown alongside with the ongoing acceptance of harvesting reusable material for future construction planning. 

The Greater Vancouver Region and other districts are working with the LEEDS program and pioneering efforts forward to take leadership roles in the commercial deconstruction industry. Although the residential industry has been participating in the salvage operations for many years, we are now seeing major growth from the industrial and commercial sectors as well. 

3R Demolition has contributed numerous opportunities to recycle material on high profile construction projects, obtaining a 85% Recycle/Re-Use factor. The fact that certain materials are ban from landfill like drywall give a demolition/deconstruction project a whole new look after the stud walls are bare - the wood, steel stud are there for the taking! This essential partnering of recycling and salvage opportunities diverts tons of usable construction material from local landfills and creates a sought after outlet for a second market.

By marketing re-usable items and having the whole concept of the re-use application being the new wave of construction in the millennium, we at 3R Demolition are fully on board for this opportunity of making a “greener environment” for the future of all. We at 3R are truly both prepared and excited about the future of “deconstruction”.
