BELLEVUE, WA, April 14, 2011 (Press-News.org) Global Fiberglass Solutions, Inc., Bellevue, WA based company announces that it is now in talks with international fiberglass manufacturers, state governments and national government representatives to build and manage facilities to collect and recycle fiberglass on a national basis, once collected the fiberglass will be used as the base to produce products that will be much stronger than the alternatives and recyclable.
The technology and process is proprietary and not being utilized by any other company or government agency, This will change the way fiberglass and other previously non-recyclable materials will be disposed of and save landfills from hundreds of millions of pounds of toxic non decomposing material.
Why Recycle Fiberglass and Fiberglass Products?
Fiberglass has been put into landfills as the primary way of disposal. There are multiple issues with this as it is fairly light and takes up a lot of room for its weight. It also has unusually high strength and it very slow to decompose taking hundreds of years to even start the decomposition process.
Many traditionally green businesses are green throughout their entire processes up until it is time to dispose of the fiberglass they use. It is at this point that the only way to dispose of the fiberglass up until now has been to deliver to a local landfill.
Global Fiberglass Solutions will have a dramatic impact on the way fiberglass is disposed of and on the production of other fiberglass products that will now be considered green from production through use and disposal.
Global Fiberglass Solutions, Inc. is a fiberglass recycling company. For further information, please contact us at (800) 376-2080 or www.globfiberglasssolutions.com.

Europe's wildlife under threat from nitrogen
2011-04-14
An international study published today warns that nitrogen pollution, resulting from industry and agriculture, is putting wildlife in Europe's at risk. More than 60 per cent of the EU's most important wildlife sites receive aerial nitrogen pollution inputs above sustainable levels.
There is evidence of impacts on semi-natural grasslands, heathlands and forests across Europe. This threat is set to continue unless there is further action on emissions of polluting nitrogen gases.
The study calls for a unified methodology of assessing the impact of aerial nitrogen ...
Keeping beer fresh longer
2011-04-14
Researchers are reporting discovery of a scientific basis for extending the shelf life of beer so that it stays fresh and tastes good longer. For the first time, they identified the main substances that cause the bitter, harsh aftertaste of aged beer and suggest that preventing the formation of these substances could help extend its freshness. Their findings appear in ACS' Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry.
Thomas Hofmann and colleagues point out that beer can develop an unpleasant, bitter aftertaste as it ages. Unlike wine, scotch whiskey, and bourbon, beer ...
Scripps Research scientists identify mechanism of long-term memory
2011-04-14
JUPITER, FL, April 13, 2011 – Using advanced imaging technology, scientists from the Florida campus of The Scripps Research Institute have identified a change in chemical influx into a specific set of neurons in the common fruit fly that is fundamental to long-term memory.
The study was published in the April 13, 2011 issue of The Journal of Neuroscience.
"In studying fruit flies' learning and long-term memory storage, we observed an increase in calcium influx into a specific set of brain neurons in normal fruit flies that was absent in 26 different mutants known to ...
Toward a 'green grid' for delivering solar and wind-based electricity
2011-04-14
After years of neglect, scientists and policy makers are focusing more attention on developing technologies needed to make the so-called "green grid" possible, according to an article in ACS' Chemical Reviews. That's the much-needed future electrical grid, an interconnected network for delivering solar and wind-based electricity from suppliers to consumers.
Zhenguo (Gary) Yang and colleagues point out that concerns over the use of coal, oil, and other fuels that contribute to global warming and are in limited supply, have spurred interest in generating electrical energy ...
Confederate Cannon Bombard Ft. Sumter. Union Garrison Responds in Kind
2011-04-14
Charleston Harbor, South Carolina. April 12, 1861. At exactly 4:30AM, with a faint, dim light rising over the horizon, the first muted boom of a cannon sounded from Fort Johnson on the west side of the harbor. What followed was an explosive roar of cannon which rippled like a wave in a counter-clockwise direction - officially declaring the South's independence from the United States.
For the last 24 hours, we have received numerous dispatches from Charleston. At precisely 3:20AM, we learned that the Confederates informed Major Anderson that they would open fire in one ...
Carbon dating identifies South America's oldest textiles
2011-04-14
Textiles and rope fragments found in a Peruvian cave have been dated to around 12,000 years ago, making them the oldest textiles ever found in South America, according to a report in the April issue of Current Anthropology.
The items were found 30 years ago in Guitarrero Cave high in the Andes Mountains. Other artifacts found along with the textiles had been dated to 12,000 ago and even older. However, the textiles themselves had never been dated, and whether they too were that old had been controversial, according to Edward Jolie, an archaeologist at Mercyhurst College ...
Giant fire-bellied toad's brain brims with powerful germ-fighters
2011-04-14
Frog and toad skins already are renowned as cornucopias of hundreds of germ-fighting substances. Now a new report in ACS's Journal of Proteome Research reveals that the toad brains also may contain an abundance of antibacterial and antiviral substances that could inspire a new generation of medicines.
Ren Lai and colleagues point out that scientists know little about the germ-fighting proteins in amphibian brains, despite many studies showing that amphibians synthesize and secrete a remarkably diverse array of antimicrobial substances in their skin. So they decided to ...

Search for weapons of mass destruction expands to East Africa
2011-04-14
The United States government is expanding a 20-year-old program to secure and help destroy Cold War-era nuclear and other weapons of mass destruction (WMD) to an unlikely area of the world —East Africa, according to an article in the current edition of Chemical & Engineering News (C&EN), ACS's weekly newsmagazine.
In the article, Glenn Hess, C&EN Senior Editor, explains that the focus of the Cooperative Threat Reduction Program (CTR) does not stem from any new intelligence indicating that Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda have secretly developed nuclear weapons. Rather, it ...
AGU journal highlights -- April 13, 2011
2011-04-14
The following highlights summarize research papers that have been recently published in Geophysical Research Letters (GRL).
1. Little Ice Age resulted from more than just solar calm
Total solar irradiance (TSI), essentially a measure of the amount of light the Sun puts out, varies with the 11-year sunspot cycle and influences Earth's climate, especially when TSI is notably higher or lower than its average values. It had been thought that TSI was especially low during a period known as the Little Ice Age, which began in the late 17th century, coinciding with a period ...
