Which Building Products are Really Green?

Manufacturers may claim that a product is eco-friendly because it contains recycled material, but read the fine print to confirm exactly how much. Products that only contain a small percentage of recycled materials are still consuming a lot of raw materials in the manufacturing process. Also consider whether or not the product itself can be recycled at the end of its lifetime.
