Reused Materials Manufacturer Comments

Building Reuse. Corian® and Zodiaq® are durable and long-lasting materials,
so they may remain on walls and floors when the building finds a new use, reducing demolition waste and the need
to raise new structures. If the requirements pertaining to existing building structure and shell are satisfied, then Corian® and Zodiaq® can contribute to this category.

Emissions Manufacturer Comments

Corian® solid surfaces, Zodiaq® quartz surfaces and cured DuPont™ surface sealants and adhesives have been evaluated by the GREENGUARD Environmental Institute and have surpassed the indoor air quality (IAQ) requirements of these guidelines
