What's wrong with throwing drywall into a landfill site?
1. Hydrogen sulfide gas may be produced when land filling gypsum, particularly in a wet climate.
2. Hydrogen sulfide gas is toxic at high concentrations (~1,000 parts per million) and has a foul rotten-egg odor.
3. Several communities in Canada do not accept drywall at landfills for this reason.
4. Incineration may produce toxic sulfur dioxide gas. Drywall is not permitted to be incinerated in California.

1. Purchase substitutes that are reusable, such as modular partitions, for commercial buildings.
2. Purchase drywall with 25% recycled content for new construction.
3. Use your scrap drywall in garden composting. Maximum gypsum for garden applications is 1% of the compost.
You are allowed 16.158 pounds per cubic yard. At 4" of compost in a garden, 16.158 lbs of gypsum will cover 9 sq. yards,

Cornell University studies show that on average 1 pound of drywall ends up in a landfill site for each square foot of
drywall installed. This waste comes from the initial installation of the product, not during a renovation, or a demolition.

Health effects of VOC's on your employees will vary by employee, proximity to VOC's, exposure time to VOC's, etc.
These symptoms to exposure will also vary and include; eye, nose, and throat irritation; headaches, loss of
coordination, nausea; damage to liver, kidney, and central nervous system. Some organics can cause cancer in
animals; some are suspected or known to cause cancer in humans.

Just how much debris is generated when this floor plan is gutted? Our tenant real estate space is an
environmental crime waiting to happen. These spaces are constantly being built out, gutted, and built out again for the
next tenant. The EPA has done studies on how much debris is generated when these commercial spaces are torn out.
The EPA is claiming an average of 155 pounds of debris for each square foot of space.
This looks at overall recycled content of DIRTT product. Contact your local DIRTT Rep if you need this broken down and
recalculated for LEED credit.
Interior by DIRTT recycled %
Consider purchasing your material from non-typical sources. High end, clear, finished wood can be purchased from
companies that are now retrieving logs from the bottom of rivers that were used to float old growth forest trees to the
mills during the 1800's. The high quality of this timber is unequal to anything that you can purchase today from second
and third-growth forests. These recovered, old growth forest trees, are being considered for certification as a "Recycled"
product. Source: Environmental Building News - April 2005

Paint, Varnish, Stain, and Other Finishing Fumes
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC's) are found in most construction and finishing products. A short list of these would
include paints, stains, varnishes, solvents, adhesives, wood preservatives, waxes, polishes, sealants, dyes, etc. Almost
all of these will end up in your conventionally built interior space.
