MAKE EM SHINE is a 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 a floor that resists scuffs, scratches, and black marks

LEED POINTS AND CERTIFICATIONS

Getting our floor treatment adds to existing LEED points in buildings/businesses that are currently in the LEED program administered by the USGBC. Buildings and businesses that aren’t registered LEED certified can achieve certification through GREENFEET the registration of LEED floors in businesses and buildings Maintaining our finish requires less water, resulting in a 45% reduction in regular water usage for building maintenance. Advancements in organic nanotechnology allow us to seal the floors, protect them from SBP, and qualify 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). We are the only company that provides LEED-certified protection from shoe-borne pathogens (SBP).

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

Our business model will provide an opportunity for individuals to transform their lives, and for the community to play 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-friendly 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 this problem with a finish that protects the floor from wear and scratches, while also protecting the IAQ from shoe-borne pathogens.
