Follow on Google News | Recycling Systems, Inc. Helps Zoetica Wellness Center Gain LEED Building CertificationRSI, a Chicago based waste hauler and recycling facility, partners with Zoetica to provide recycling services for their new wellness and health facility that is seeking Platinum LEED Building Certification.
Depending on the submission process, Zoetica is projected to achieve either Gold or Platinum LEED Building status. They believe, “It is much harder to achieve LEED status in an existing site. One must readjust, remodel, and improve existing systems. Ideally, this would have been planned for and incorporated into the original architectural design and the costs calculated ahead of time for a brand new building on a site chosen for that purpose.” Some of the green practices used by Zoetica were to reduce water usage by 40%, purchase wind power credits, install Energy Star electronics, utilize local manufacturers, and purchase post consumer recycled products. Zoetica is also the first USDA Certified Organic wellness and health facility in the country.
