Growing Secondary Markets to Inform Construction Materials Policy
City Lead: San Francisco
Year Completed: 2024
A project to develop infrastructure to feed data-driven deconstruction and material reuse policies that will result in long-term solutions for the commercial construction sector.
Output:
- Report: Building Materials Reuse Analysis
- Two new programs were created as a result of this project:
- SF Shines reuse program: An extension of the SF Shines rebate program that will offer 4 small business storefront improvement projects $5,000 to offset costs associated with procuring and installing reclaimed products.
- Rheaply Bay Area Circular Marketplace pilot: An online marketplace for reclaimed and surplus building products. The Bay Area marketplace is available as part of Rheaply’s broader Circular Cities Initiative.
