Is this really
Sustainable Energy?
There are FOUR main factors which determine a buildings sustainability:
- Energy efficiency
- Durability
- Recycled content
- Locally sourced materials
So where do we stand with these four factors?
Energy Efficient
Our buildings are extremely energy efficient, easily saving 70% on heating-cooling bills and potentially up to 100% when passive-solar principles are used in the design.
Low Maintenance
Our WORTHY biotech domes and will last forever with very little maintenance. .
Recycled Material
90% or more of the material used in our composite shells is recycled.
Hightech Materials
Only about 5% of a biotech dome's mass is composed of high-tech materials that are packaged and sent to you in our kits. The rest is local, low tech, and easily available…
Why Composites?
Plastics have a bad rep environmentally for one BIG reason: They are almost always used for disposable items like wrappers, bags, water bottles etc. etc., even though they are among the most durable materials available…So all that plastic garbage is accumulating all over the planet, contaminating the oceans and creating a problem for which there are no easy answers. What are we doing about it? Recycling the plastic into Sustainable Housing which we believe can change the world:
Exactly how much do we recycle?
To give you an idea, each biotech dome recycles about 15 bottles per square foot. So that a 1000 square foot dome will recycle about 15,000 bottles.. That’s a good sized mountain of bottles, saved from polluting the worlds oceans and beaches…
How Safe are
these materials?
WORTHYdomes uses only recycled PET (Polyethylene Terapthalate) plastics that were originally used for items that are FDA approved for storage of foods and water for human consumption. Not only are they safe, these materials are the industry standard for environments which have to be 100% sterile and stable such as laboratories and hospital operating rooms.
Domes of Hope
“Rodriguez said his company’s structures have ongoing benefits for the environment with each dome recycling approximately 15 bottles per square foot so that a 1,000 square foot house will recycle about 15,000 bottles over time.”
