[0] 17 [Description] The impact of resource recovery was addressed throughout the material selection and detailing process. The objective was to enhance the potential for future recyclability, reuse, or salvage. If these options proved impractical, then the potential for enhanced biodegradability was considered. Use of metals without alloys, mechanical fastening of wood panels, and specification of certified recyclable carpeting are examples of ways that recycling was encouraged. With a facility that will use more than seven acres of carpet, the team believed it was very important to be certain that the material could be returned for recycling at the end of its life.
