Little changes can have a big impact. The kitchen and vanity benchtops in the Greencycle Home are made from fast growing, fully renewable, biodegradable and recyclable bamboo and recycled cardboard – a waste product that is also biodegradable. Yet they’re comparable to reconstituted stone benchtops. So our benchtops have already cleaned up before you get them dirty.
Featuring low embodied energy building materials, recyclable building materials, as well as products made with a high content of recycled materials, the Greencycle Home will showcase the importance
of considering the environmental impact of the products you use to build your home.
The Greencycle Home also showcases universal design – meaning the homes are designed to be flexible and meet the changing needs of people of different ages and abilities over time. Some features of universal design in the Greencycle Home include;
- Level access to entry door and outdoor living areas
- Universal garage – 3.8m wide and 6m long

Here you’ll see some practical tips on choosing sustainable, environmentally-friendly materials that
tread lightly on the earth, both during construction and throughout the life of your home.
