Georgia-Pacific, manufactured by Ply Gem, can help you meet your sustainable building goals and earn points in leading green building certification programs. Our products offer features that positively contribute to sustainable building practices, improved energy efficiency and lifecycle benefits of homes. All are important aspects of sustainable building and reflect Georgia-Pacific Vinyl Siding's contribution to the Ply Gem Enviro initiative.

Sustainable Resources:

  • Georgia-Pacific Vinyl Siding is manufactured from two abundant natural resources: salt (57%) and natural gas (43%).1
  • All post-product scrap material created during the manufacturing process is reclaimed.
  • Vinyl siding generates less construction site waste than cardboard packaging, brick or lumber.
  • When installed and used properly, Georgia-Pacific Vinyl Siding products never require paint or stain, which reduces VOCs released into the atmosphere.
  • Georgia-Pacific aluminum producers have been evaluated by a third party and are GreenCircle certified to contain a minimum of 67% recycled content.
  • Ply Gem facilities reuse and recycle pallets and packaging material, reducing raw material needs and landfill use.
  • Ply Gem works with its suppliers to recycle as many materials as possible, including cores, cardboard padding, paint totes, batteries, light bulbs, toner and paper.

Energy Efficiency:

  • Vinyl siding requires less energy to manufacture per square foot than brick and mortar.2
  • Georgia-Pacific Vinyl Siding is lighter weight per square than other cladding options, so it requires less fuel to transport. Less fuel used means less pollution.
  • Georgia-Pacific Caliber High Performance Insulated Siding adds up to an additional R2.8 of insulation to exterior walls.
  • All Ply Gem facilities do their part to conserve energy by doing simple things like turning out lights on weekends and during shutdowns.

Lifecycle Benefits of Homes:

  • Georgia-Pacific Vinyl Siding is durable and requires no site finish. Our Metal Products stand up to weather with virtually no maintenance.
  • When installed properly and under normal use, our products should never require painting or staining. They won't crack, peel, blister or rot.
  • All of our aluminum accessories are easily recyclable. In fact, at the end of its lifecycle in building applications, 100% of the aluminum can be recycled.
