Traditional home remodeling is a major source of waste. According to the National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI), a home remodeling project can generate between 70 and 115 lbs. of waste per square foot! By contrast, new home construction generates only 3 to 5 lbs. of construction waste per square foot.
Miracle Method Surface Refinishing, the nation’s largest surface refinishing network, provides a Green Home Remodeling Alternative. When a Miracle Method Surface Refinishing technician refinishes an existing tub, tile surround, bathroom vanity or kitchen countertop, he is keeping those fixtures out of a landfill.
In 2010, approx 1,650,000 cubic feet of bathtubs were effectively "recycled" by surface refinishing instead of being tossed into landfills across the country. That's enough cubic feet of waste to fill over 34,375 standard six foot pickup beds each year... or 94 pickup trucks each day!
With growing concerns about global warming, greenhouse gases, and ozone levels, surface refinishing makes more sense than ever before. Not only does refinishing reduce the burden on landfills, it also helps reduce pollution created by manufacturing and transporting of new fixtures. "Refinishing is like creating your own carbon credits and is a choice more and more concerned consumers are making," said Pistor.
“With a bit of planning, a homeowner should be able to get the bathroom and kitchen makeover look they want by refinishing instead of wasteful replacement. They’ll even save up to 75% over replacement costs while contributing to a better environment,” says Pistor. According to Pistor, worn out porcelain, steel, and even fiberglass bathtubs do not need to be replaced just because they are no longer easy to clean or because they are the wrong color. Quality surface refinishing can add up to 15 years of life to bathtubs, tile, and countertops. (Miracle Method reviews)
