LEED Certification
SKB Environmental is at the forefront of tackling PFAS contamination with our innovative solutions. In 2024, we installed a full-scale PFAS pre-treatment system at the SKB Rosemount landfill, marking a significant milestone as the first of its kind in Minnesota and the Nation. Modern lined landfills are part of the solution to responsibly managing PFAS containing waste streams.
With the addition of this state-of-the-art system designed to efficiently remove PFAS from landfill leachate, SKB intends to be the industry leader in the safe and responsible management of PFAS wastes.
Use SKB for your LEED project
SKB’s Integrated C&D Recycling System achieves among the highest recovery rates and will help your project achieve up to 2 LEED certification points (for MR2.1 & MR2.2). In addition to our recycling services, purchasing recycled material products from SKB (such as recycled concrete, asphalt, shingles, etc.) will count toward LEED credits for Recycled Content (MR4.1 & MR4.2) and Regional Materials (MR5.1 & MR5.2).
SKB Recycling will provide contractors and consultants with all the documentation necessary for your LEED project certification. We track every load that enters our system and every load of recycled material and residuals we send out. SKB Recycling’s Integrated C&D Recycling System is unique in that we have multiple facilities conveniently located in the Twin Cities metropolitan area, which offers our customers the ability to efficiently route their loads—reducing transportation time, fuel costs and greenhouse gas emissions.
