RePVC Will Be Used For All Projects Moving Forward

We are happy to announce that moving forward, we will be installing recycled PVC (RePVC) for all of our projects, in lieu of standard PVC piping.  This product made by Charlotte Pipe, is made of a minimum of 30% recycled content, and is itself recyclable.  It's the only product of it's kind on the market.  Sustainability is very important to us at Seaside, and we want to do our part.  

Normal piping is not recyclable and a huge amount ends up in our landfills every year.  Sources estimate that about 7 billion pounds of PVC products end up in landfills each year, however about 70% of this is estimated to be from single use household plastics.  Nonetheless, we want to reduce the amount of construction materials ending up in landfills.
