Our Mission

Green Depot was created with one central goal: to make Green Building products and services readily accessible so that green living and building can be easy, worthwhile and gratifying.

At Green Depot, we believe that any green choice – big or small – is a positive step for our future. As the largest supplier of environmentally friendly building materials on the east coast, we seek out the very best green building products and materials, with attention to factors such as recyclable content, local sourcing, low- or no-toxicity, and energy efficiency.

Unlike standard building supply stores, all of the products we sell must pass through our own Green Depot “filter,” providing for evaluation our quality and values criteria, including:

  • Performance
  • Health
  • Durability
  • Life Cycle Analysis
  • Natural Resource Conservation
  • Energy Conservation
  • Ongoing Usage & Maintenance

When looking at any material through our  “filter,” specific questions must be answered, such as:  

  • Where did the material come from?
  • What are the by-products of its manufacturing process?
  • How is it delivered and installed?
  • How is it maintained and operated?
  • How healthy is it?
  • What happens to it at the end of its life cycle?

Each product is also evaluated for its LEED points value and applicable categories, and to determine if it has received certification by respected programs or organizations such as:

To ensure that you are provided with the knowledge and tools necessary to make the best decisions possible, Green Depot staff members are continually trained in each of our product lines, and can therefore guide you to the products and systems that best suit your application – as well as provide you with information on complementary products and installation.

Whether you’re a homeowner searching for ways to live healthier, cut energy costs, or increase the value of your home – or a professional or LEED builder looking to spec out your next job – you’ve come to the right place. Contact us NOW to see how we can help you get the job done right.
