Boston Building Resources (BBR) is a social enterprise focused on providing affordable solutions that help area residents create stronger communities while benefiting the environment. The effort includes two components: 1) a consumer co-op (formerly called Boston Building Materials Co-op) that sells new home improvement materials and has a special focus on energy-saving, green products; and 2) a nonprofit Reuse Center, where people can donate new and gently used building materials for resale. In 2016, BBR received donations from nearly 1,700 people, diverting materials valued at more than $2 million from local landfills. Also focused on education, in 2016 BBR conducted 40 home improvement workshops.
