The entire home; with electricity and plumbing, walls roof, flooring, cabinets, lighting, sinks, bathroom and decks! A range of designs to select from, or custom build. Many of these materials available from reclaimed recycling=circular and sustainable.3/ Large infrastructure Material Recycling Facilities (MRF’s) & Organics Recycling Facilities (ORF’s) as well as innovative local collection systems- all using optic and AI during technology. Our factories have been recycling USA waste for over 15 years until the Green Sword in 2019. USA is barely recycling 9% of our materials now & Our landfills are bulging. It’s time to partner with our friendly Chinese experts & begin the Green Circular economy - it’s not possible without this starting stream.
