THE GREEN INITIATIVE

Greensboro Plumbing Supply proudly supports the “Green Initiative” and provides “Green” friendly plumbing supplies. The Green Building Council administers a certification program for green buildings called LEED ® – Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design ®. If you are starting a LEED project for your plumbing, turn to GPS and the Green Initiative.

Cast iron soil pipe systems are known for being quiet, reliable, non-combustible, highly durable and environmentally friendly. The production process of a cast iron soil pipe system utilizes post-consumer recycled materials such as scrap iron and steel; which itself can be re-melted and recycled at the end of its useful life.

Many building owners and facilities managers face increasing cost challenges for reducing water consumption. The EcoVantage series from Zurn, provides a mix of innovative LEED/Green listed products including water-free urinals, 1/8 gallon ultra low flow urinals, high efficiency pressure-assist toilets and 1.28 ultra low flow flush valve fixtures.

In addition to saving the environment, going "Green" helps save money! Many Green items

qualify for tax refunds of as much as 30% of the total system cost. Moreover, the monthly savings in employing Green products can be substantial. Whether saving money by reducing water consumption or by reducing energy consumption, Green products are a great economic choice!
