Zero waste office practices

The company has been making moves toward becoming a “zero waste” office. It replaced plastic juice and sports drinks bottles with aluminum cans of sparkling water, requested no cutlery when catering office events, uses reusable silverware, buys snacks in bulk and stores them in glass jars, and has a small compost bucket in the kitchen. It also added a recycling bin for hard-to-recycle materials and started tracking total office waste.

Reclaimed materials in office

In 2013, when SK cofounder Carl Seville renovated the home that is now the office, he contracted a craftsman to use reclaimed heart pine from old building materials. Certifying the office under EarthCraft that same year also meant less waste through building techniques that reduced the amount of materials needed for construction.

Waste reduction in projects

The company says its work helping residential developments get green-certified already comes with waste management practices. It cites waste diversion from landfill, adaptive reuse of existing buildings, use of upcycled structures and materials, pre-finished materials, prefabricated and panelized components, and specifying Environmental Product Declarations that show products’ cradle-to-grave impacts.
