MAKE EM SHINE 415

MAKE EM SHINE is Social Enterprise COOP with a 3BL, The Planet, The People, and Profits. Our focus is on reducing the impact that buildings have on climate change and indoor air quality (IAQ) and providing GREEN jobs for disenfranchised people,

We shine and protect floors from Shoe-Borne-pathogens (SBP)with LEED-rated products and procedures. Our products on your floors mean you have a shine and protection that NEVER needs stripping, and will produce a finish that resists scuffs, scratches, and black marks.

Maintaining our finish requires less water, with a saving of 45% of regular water usage for building maintenance. Advancements in organic nanotechnology allow us to seal the floors, protect them from SBP’s and qualifies the building/business for tax breaks and a LEED rating under the new funding guidelines of the National Building Performance Standards (NBPS)and the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA).

Providing GREEN jobs for economically and socially disadvantaged residents of San Francisco will allow them to gain a foothold into San Francisco’s and the world’s, growing Green Economy. These jobs will pay a living wage with incentive-based pay raises for colleagues that pursue a higher level of training and education.

Our business model will provide an opportunity for people to reshape their lives, and for the community to have a role in their success. “a green economy, is defined as low carbon, resource-efficient, and socially inclusive. “ The process and products are LEED certified, cost-efficient, and prepare buildings and businesses to become LEED-certified, and add points to the scores of existing LEED-rated buildings/businesses and schools.

Our process will be the main component of the structure of, GREEN buildings across the country. Our process addresses the drought conditions in the western states, by reducing the use of copious amounts of water and chemicals for daily building maintenance. The introduction of luxury vinyl tile (LVT) as a low-cost and maintenance-low substrate has presented a new set of maintenance problems. LVT has a protective wear layer measured in mils (1/1000 of an inch), and is subject to scratches and daily wear. Our process addresses that problem with a finish that protects the floor from wear and scratches and protects the IAQ from shoe-borne pathogens.
