Environmental Additions

As a society we are becoming increasingly aware of our effect on the environment. This awareness is driving demand for more sustainable products across every industry. The difficult part is balancing what’s environmentally responsible with what is economically sensible. As consumers and designers, we look for opportunities where we can get what we need for the right price and do the right thing.

At Mutual Materials, we recognize the demand for more sustainable options in our product line and have expanded our Environmental product family beyond our group of permeable pavers. Helping our plants and our customers reduce their carbon footprint, we are now offering a paver and segmental retaining wall block that are made with recycled content.

Our Holland and Manorstone are both attractive products that are very difficult to distinguish from the original products. Holland pavers and Manorstone have been two of the most popular products, making them an ideal starting point for using recycled materials. Both of these products may contribute to LEED credits based on their recycled content. For more information contact your local branch or check www.mutualmaterials.com.

One last note to remember is that Mutual Materials original product, brick, is also very green. It may not be part of the Environmental family of products, but that does not mean we take for granted the environmental aspects of brick: a 100 year life cycle, non toxic, and locally produced.

More new products are on the way so stay tuned.

Sincerely,

Brian Healow
