Total Companies are Going Green!
91% of the waste materials from our home construction projects are now recycled.
Over the past 10 years there has been a movement in American to promote recycling programs. Many of these attempts have been half baked and used for marketing purposes only. At Total we’ve been doing our due diligence to find an environmentally friendly and cost effective way to recycle construction and demolition material from our job sites. All of us at Total are excited to announce that in the interest of perserving the environment, we are now working with a local recycler to recycle up to 91% of demolition & construction materials on every job site.
Total’s Made in America Pledge
Over the past year ABC World News with Diane Sawyer launched a groundbreaking series, “Made in America,” focusing on American manufacturing and our economy. The entire team at Total was inspired by this video below and we’re now making our pledge of commitment as well.
Below is a list of American companies ABC helped compile that manufacture home building supplies. Total is making the commitment to use many these companies and their products in your home.
