Flujo de Residuos: Los Deconstructivistas<\/span><\/p>\n

En un suburbio de Portland, Oreg\u00f3n, el equipo de seis hombres de DeConstruction, Inc., ingresa a una casa de tres dormitorios y, con martillos y palancas, comienza a destrozarla. Los gabinetes y la alfombra son los primeros en salir. Luego se quitan las bisagras de las puertas y se levantan los pisos de madera. Durante la pr\u00f3xima semana, toda la estructura, desde las ventanas hasta las luminarias y la madera, ser\u00e1 sacada al c\u00e9sped, clasificada y apilada. Pero a diferencia de los escombros generados por el 95 por ciento de los trabajos de demolici\u00f3n en todo el pa\u00eds, estos materiales no se dirigir\u00e1n al vertedero. Ser\u00e1n revendidos a una tarifa con descuento, generando ganancias para la empresa y contribuyendo casi nada a las aproximadamente 65 millones de toneladas de desechos que las compa\u00f1\u00edas de demolici\u00f3n tradicionales de EE. UU. env\u00edan al vertedero cada a\u00f1o.<\/p>\n

\u201cLe damos una oportunidad a todo\u201d, dice Brian McVay, un gerente de DeConstruction. \u201cAprovechamos todo lo posible, desde la repisa de la chimenea hasta la roca de los cimientos\u201d. Todo esto termina en un dep\u00f3sito de segunda mano local, donde los compradores que buscan una ganga pueden encontrar tablones rectos de dos por cuatro por 25 centavos, o ba\u00f1eras antiguas con patas de garra por unas $300 d\u00f3lares, entre un 50 y un 90 por ciento m\u00e1s baratas que las nuevas.<\/p>\n

\"\"DeConstruction, que comenz\u00f3 en 1999, es una de apenas ocho compa\u00f1\u00edas en los Estados Unidos cuyo \u00fanico servicio es la demolici\u00f3n ambientalmente responsable. Pero el negocio est\u00e1 en auge. Hasta ahora, la compa\u00f1\u00eda ha completado 350 proyectos y su carga de trabajo se ha duplicado casi cada a\u00f1o. Parte de ese \u00e9xito se debe a la pura competitividad de precios. Debido a que las empresas de deconstrucci\u00f3n revenden los materiales, dependen menos de maquinaria costosa y evitan los gastos de disposici\u00f3n, a menudo pueden superar las ofertas de los demoleros tradicionales; incluso cuando no pueden, muchos clientes est\u00e1n dispuestos a pagar un poco m\u00e1s. \u201cLa gente a menudo nos llama porque son muy conscientes de que materiales como la secuoya (redwood) van al vertedero, para no volver a ser vistos\u201d, dice Joel Fox de Beyond Waste, Inc., una compa\u00f1\u00eda con sede cerca de San Francisco.<\/p>\n

Jim Primdahl, del Instituto para la Autosuficiencia Local, una organizaci\u00f3n sin fines de lucro que ayuda a las personas a iniciar negocios ambientalmente racionales, dice que un equipo capacitado puede recuperar hasta el 85 por ciento de una casa unifamiliar. Los \u00fanicos elementos que no se pueden reutilizar son los materiales que contienen asbesto peligroso y ciertos pl\u00e1sticos y yesos.<\/p>\n

Los esc\u00e9pticos del reciclaje suelen recibir nuevos programas con oscuros indicios de que el mercado no existe, y la deconstrucci\u00f3n no es una excepci\u00f3n. Will Turley, director de Construction Building Materials, pregunta: \u201c\u00bfQui\u00e9n va a querer comprar un inodoro de veinte a\u00f1os de una vivienda p\u00fablica?\u201d<\/p>\n

Pero DeConstruction no tiene ning\u00fan problema en vender su mercanc\u00eda. A medida que los recursos naturales se agotan, los precios de algunos materiales v\u00edrgenes se han disparado; tanto es as\u00ed que DeConstruction ha vendido art\u00edculos como pisos viejos de abeto de Douglas incluso antes de que fueran descargados del cami\u00f3n de la empresa. \u201cSiempre camino por estos patios de segunda mano pensando que nadie en el mundo va a comprar esto o aquello\u201d, dice Primdahl. \u201cPero al d\u00eda siguiente alguien est\u00e1 cargando ese art\u00edculo en su coche con una sonrisa en la cara que dice que acaba de encontrar el tesoro de su vida por unos pocos d\u00f3lares. Es maravilloso\u201d.\u201d<\/p>\n
