DL Richie Paint n' Decorating Center, Serving the Greater Pittsburgh, PA Community

COMMITMENT TO COMMUNITY AND THE ENVIRONMENT

Green Planet Paints ® was born in a small rural community in southern Arizona with a commitment to creating local jobs and maintaining a quality of life for families in the community. Surrounded by spectacular natural beauty, they were reminded to create a product that is low impact, low inherent energy in production, and is easy on the planet. These are the values that motivate the work at Green Planet Paints.

A NATURAL ALTERNATIVE...GREEN PLANET PAINTS® can be used on conventional interior surfaces -- plasters, drywall, wood, and painted walls.
These paints use clay pigments inspired by Mayan Indians over a thousand years ago. The natural beauty of the palette is derived from the mystique of these materials.
Their paints are GREEN by design, have a small environmental footprint, and are much more than simply zero-VOC*.
They use:
-Sustainable-produced soy resin instead of petroleum-based acrylic resins
-mineral pigments instead of synthetic dyes
-simple low impact additives
Rich mineral colors ** Ancient Mayan clay pigments ** No VOC's ** Renewable, plant-based resin ** Simple, non-toxic ingredients **Easy to use ** easy to clean up.

EASY APPLICATION ...A gallon of Clay Paint will cover up to 350 square feet on a smooth surface. We suggest an undercoat and topcoat for greatest satisfaction. Surfaces with texture will require additional material, resulting in coverage closer to 275 square feet.
Prepare surface by cleaning. Sand or prime semi-gloss or gloss painted surfaces before application. Apply with a soft brush or 1/4"nap roller to create a smooth surface. Feather edges to blend. The paint may be thinned with water to use as a color wash. All of the colors can be mixed together to create unique tones. Let dry completely before applying a second coat. After drying, this paint will continue to harden of the course of a week.

NATURAL ELEGANCE - Green Planet Paints® Clay Paint. Soft, matte surfaces that exude natural beauty, creating intimate interior spaces.

MOHAWK GREENWORKS *** Environmental Leadership That Works

Mohawk believes environmental stewardship and sustainable initiatives makes good business sense.

Mohawk seeks ways to REDUCE, RECYCLE, REUSE AND RENEW. Doing the right thing takes effort and they are doing what is best for the environment, their business, their industry and for all of us.

More than 500 Mohawk Products -- from their carpets, carpet tiles and cushion to their laminates and ceramic tiles -- contain recycled materials.

Mohawk can recycle any kind of latex-backed carpet regardless of what fiber is used -- polyester, polypropylene, PTT, Nylon 6 and Nylon 6,6.

Available in GREEN no matter the color. One out of four recycle plastic bottles in North America transforms into components that make Mohawk EverStrand® residential carpeting. That's almost THREE BILLION bottles a year.

All Laminate Boards made in the U.S. contain 75% pre-consumer recycled content. Mohawk Laminate uses only renewable, fast-growing southern pine. Six times more trees are planted than harvested by our suppliers. Wood Waster from manufacturing is used as bio-mass fuel for process heating.

100% of water from the manufacturing process at most Mohawk ceramic tile facilities is reused and never discharged as waste.

Mohawk diverts more than 1.75 billion pounds of pre-consumer and post-consumer waste from landfills each year --and that number grows annually.

FROM FIELD TO FLOOR -- The future is in renewable fiber technologies. SmartStrand® with DuPont (tm) Sorona ® polymer substitutes agricultural resources for petroleum-based chemicals. SmartStrand remains durable and stain resistant. Every SEVEN YARDS of 40-ounce SmartStrand® with DuPont (tm) Sorona® polymer SAVES ONE GALLON OF GASOLINE.

SECOND-LOOK RECYCLED WALLCOVERING

RECLAIM. RECYCLE.RETHINK WALLCOVERING by CIRQA

RECLAIM

Take advantage of Second-Look through two exciting programs. Select new wall covering with recycled content from Second-Look's wide selection of designs, colors and textures. In Addition, you may choose to participate in the Second-Look Retrieval Program. This allows you to send used vinyl wall covering from your renovation project to LSI to be reclaimed and recycled into new wall covering. Reclaiming wall covering diverts it from the landfill and helps ensure a sufficient supply of recycled material for new Second-Look wall covering.

Reclaiming wall covering is easy. Send an 8" x 10" sample of the used wall covering you would like to return. LSI accepts any manufacturer's vinyl wall covering, but screens all samples to ensure they meet environmental quality standards. Go to www.secondlookwc.com for a form and the mailing address.

Once LSI approves your material for Second-Look, you will receive shipping instructions and customized return packaging. Just strip your walls as you normally would but keep wall covering separate from other construction debris. It's that simple. LSI works directly with your contractor to answer questions and facilitate the Second-Look Retrieval Program.

RECYCLE

Looking to breathe new life into your walls? Second-Look Recycled Wallcovering is available in Cirqa fashion-forward designs, fresh colors and tactile textures. From the soothing symmetry of natural materials to the iconic couture of the fashion runway, Second-Look Wallcovering delivers the aesthetic attitude you want.

The low-VOC wall covering comes with indoor air quality (IAQ) enhancing technologies. Second-Look is treated with a mildew-inhibiting agent that protects against fungal and microbiological growth. Water-based inks and adhesives also reduce VOCs. In addition, Permavent (TM) microventing can be specified to help prevent mobile moisture in walls.

RETHINK

Whether you specify Second-Look Recycled Wallcovering or participate in the Second-Look Retrieval Program, you know you're doing something good for the environment. Second-Look is a comprehensive sustainable building solution for vinyl wall covering.

The U.S. Green Building Council has studied vinyl and recommended that it be treated equally with other building materials with regard to eligibility for LEED credits. Second-Look vinyl wall covering is a versatile interior design product that offers aesthetic beauty, exceptional performance and low environmental impact.

Second-Look vinyl wall covering has a long life cycle, making it an economical and sustainable wall treatment.

The easy to clean surface also reduces the opportunity for allergens to proliferate. Its inherent durability and 10+ year product expectancy conserves resources and reduces impact on the environment.

The Second-Look post-consumer recycling program extends sustainability even further. The low-VOC product releases minimal pollutants into the building and, in fact, has fewer emissions than paint. For these reasons, it is often the wall treatment of choice for many designers, architects and facility managers.

BE THE FIRST TO USE WALLCOVERING A SECOND TIME.

LSI Wall covering introduces Second-Look (TM), the first vinyl wall covering to include post-consumer recycled content. Available through your Cirqa distributor, Second-Look offers a wide range of designs and colors from the Cirqa collection -- all with at least 20% recycled content and a minimum of 10% post-consumer. Enjoy the same fashion-forward aesthetics and long-term durability as standard Cirqa designs at the same great price. Second-Look recycled wall covering carries no upcharge or price increase.

In addition to specifying recycled wall covering, you have the option of participating in the Second-Look retrieval program. Simply send your previously installed vinyl wall covering to be recycled into new Second-Look designs. Reclaiming old wall covering and specifying recycled wall covering both support LEED criteria and the emerging recycling requirements of states and municipalities.

LSI is c committed to the environmental integrity of its products and services and the aggressive reduction, recovery, reuse and recycling of wall covering material.

One of the first manufacturing to eliminate solvent inks, LSI recovers and reuses manufacturing waste and post-consumer wall covering and continually searches for new ways to improve sustainability.
