Our Impact
Unbuilt delivers measurable wins for the economy and environment.
Affordability
Transactions on Unbuilt recoup costs for sellers, and reduce prices for buyers on usable, new-condition goods - making building more cost-effective and housing more affordable.
Community
Resale means helping fellow builders in your community. Goods are sourced locally, not imported from overseas through fragile supply chains.
Waste Reduction
Construction is the #1 source of solid landfill waste. Each Unbuilt sale keeps hundreds of pounds of materials out of landfills by diverting them to productive re-use.
Environment
Construction consumes 1/2 of all extracted natural resources, driving ecosystem destruction, deforestation, and habitat loss. Supporting re-use cuts building's impact on the natural world.
Climate
Embodied carbon from building materials alone represents 11% of our climate footprint. Unbuilt transactions offset large amounts of emissions by avoiding new manufacturing and transport.
