Building Green Not long ago, green building practices were just a small part of the building equation. Today, “green building” dominates discussion, with many consumers using green as their guide – whether choosing environmentally friendly products or incorporating green design. And as green building becomes even more commonplace within the building community, consumers will certainly require even higher standards. With windows and doors, consumers are paying closer attention than ever to the manufacturer – from the manufacturing process to the company’s commitment to the environment. At Marvin, respecting and protecting the environment is more than a good business practice — it’s the right thing to do.
Wood is a versatile and beautiful material that is easy to use. Wood is non-toxic and recyclable. It is light, yet strong and easily shaped. It offers good sound absorption properties and can be used as a bio fuel at the end of its product life. It is our only truly sustainable resource for construction purposes. It is also a natural insulator and, as such, reduces the energy needed for heating. Reforestation and sustainable forestry practices reduce the effect of global warming as trees naturally soak up carbon dioxide. More importantly, Marvin products are designed to perform for years to come and can easily be reused. When disassembled, the major components (wood, glass or aluminum) are easily recycled. The Marvin family of brands will continue to strive to meet and exceed environmental standards in 2008 and beyond. For more information, visit www.marvin.com |
As a Charter Member of the Forest Products Management and Development Institute at the University of Minnesota, Marvin is committed to sustainable forestry management and recycling and reuse programs. Marvin also is a corporate sponsor and a board member of the Tropical Forest Foundation (TFF), an organization promoting sustainable tropical forest management.
