KC startup ‘PlanetReuse’ helps environment, you | fox4kc.com

Hey Folks, lets help Planet Reuse win the Wall Street Journal’s “Start Up of the Year” contest.

Winning would be a great way to bring more awareness to building material reuse. Go vote for them here (click the “View All” to find them)!

The business is now one of 24 start-up companies in a competition sponsored by the Wall  Street Journal. PlanetReuse Marketplace is representing the metro and the midwest.

The Journal is keeping the specifics quiet, but Benjamin said the most important part of the competition right now is votes.

“What we would love is for everybody to go to our page, vote for us and hopefully allow us to make the cut along the way and ultimately become ‘Startup of the Year.’”

Survey Says: More People Will Be Building with Recycled Building Materials This Spring – WSJ.com

The Wall Street Journal reported on building material reuse today. I say that is newsworthy!

Paul Hamtil of Hamtil Construction, a contractor in St. Louis, said, “As a rule, I know that most of our clients do care that we send as much demo material as possible to be salvaged, donated, or recycled. At the end of the day, whether using or donating recycled material, it brings a new level of satisfaction to the process of remodeling.”
