Kansas City, Mo. — PlanetReuse.com is a global website that connects buyers and sellers of reused and reclaimed construction materials and equipment, and allows them to purchase products with integrated shipping online. The website launched on March 17, 2008, and is specifically catered to the contractor, architect, homeowner community and those looking for sustainable alternatives in building.

Sellers can create free listings with photos for reused, reclaimed and excess building materials. Buyers can then search the global database of materials for items in their area or other areas of the world. PlanetReuse.com provides a digital warehouse for buyer and seller to meet, without scouring the internet or the countryside.

Extending the reach of product exposure is important to companies that have materials. Not only is time saved, money and space in landfills are saved with the site as well. Reusing and reclaiming materials helps divert material from landfills. This diversion is the driving force behind PlanetReuse.com. Landfill diversion is becoming a global issue and is also one of the points that LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certified projects are encouraged to promote.
