As vice president of finance at Discovery Builders, LLC, Mark LaBere has over five years of experience helping the company fund its suite of ongoing projects and hiring accountants. With experience at mentoring startup companies, Mark LaBere helps Discovery Builders with its mission to build homes that fit client-specified requests while practicing sustainability.
Builders can use many construction materials to create functional, environmentally-conscious homes. An example is recycled steel. Steel only needs to be melted down before reuse. Where building a home, for example, it can be used in components such as in roofing or framing. Another recyclable material is glass and stone aggregate. Homeowners typically request stone aggregate for sidewalks or driveways as an alternative to a concrete slab. A company called FilterPave mixes recycled glass bottles into stone aggregate to create pavers that are as effective as traditional materials. FilterPave’s pavers are also more porous than the competition, so they may improve storm drainage surrounding the home. A third material is wine cork which can be converted to wall or ceiling panel, and even flooring. Consumers drop off their used corks at particular locations where programs, like Cork ReHarvest, distribute them to remanufacturers for processing.
