Sustainable or ‘green building’ design and construction is the opportunity to use our resources more efficiently while creating healthier and more energy-efficient homes. Although there is no magic formula, success comes in the form of leaving a lighter footprint on the environment through conservation of resources, while at the same time balancing energy-efficient, cost-effective, low-maintenance products for our construction needs. In other words, green design involves finding the delicate balance between homebuilding and the sustainable environment.

Trusswood believes this balance has to be established through-out our entire manufacturing process.  Our first step to achieve this goal is recycling the waste.  We recycle wood, paper, cardboard, plastic and steel waste generated through the manufacturing process.  Secondly our trucks use Bio-Diesel, which is 20% ethanol.  This helps to reduce the pollutants put into the air, providing a healthier breathing environment.  It is small steps but we are currently working on building a greener product to help “GREEN BUILDERS” achieve their goals.
