Global Fiberglass Solutions, Inc. Announces Initial List of States for Green Environmental Plants

A Washington based company has introduced a new technology to recycle fiberglass and use the recycled fiberglass to produce green manufacturing jobs that create environmentally friendly products.

2011-05-02
BELLEVUE, WA, May 02, 2011 (Press-News.org) Global Fiberglass Solutions, Inc., Bellevue, WA based company announces that it is now narrowed down a preliminary list of states that it will introduce its new technology to build and manage facilities to collect and recycle fiberglass on a national basis, once collected will employ up to approximately 250 workers per plant.

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.

Ludlow Esses, Global Fiberglass Solutions, Inc. Executive Vice President in charge of operations, commented, "Since our first announcement we are very pleased at the up tick both domestically and internationally the company is receiving on the sustainability of our solution from companies in the US, Europe, and China."

"We are proud to manufacture a recycled co-mingled glass and thermoplastic composite products using cutting edge industry-leading technology," said Don Lilly, President at Global Fiberglass Solutions. "This will allow for continuity of recycled supply in the U.S. for co-mingled glass and thermoplastic roving products, and also allow us to work with our customers to develop new applications for the recycled products keeping previously non-recyclable fiberglass materials out of landfills."

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 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 in the USA 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 Don Lilly at (800) 376-2080.

Wishful thinking

Early nutrition has a long-term metabolic impact

2011-05-02

Metabolic programming is the concept that differences in nutritional experiences at critical periods early in life can program a person's metabolism and health for the future. In this study, researchers compared growth, body composition and blood pressure in three groups of healthy, ...

Higher HIV risk in black gay men linked to partner choice, risk perception

2011-05-02
Young black men who have sex with men (MSM) get infected with HIV nearly five times more often than MSM from other races, even though they don't have more unprotected sex. The discrepancy has long mystified public health experts but a new study by investigators at Johns Hopkins and elsewhere now offers a possible explanation for it. The study found that young black MSM -- a group that includes openly gay and bisexual men, as well as those who have sex with men but do not identify themselves as gay or bisexual -- select partners and judge these partners' HIV status in ...

Media multitasking is really multi-distracting

2011-05-02
CHESTNUT HILL, MA (5/2/2011) – Multitaskers who think they can successfully divide their attention between the program on their television set and the information on their computer screen proved to be driven to distraction by the two devices, according to a new study of media multitasking by Boston College researchers. Placed in a room containing a television and a computer and given a half hour to use either device, people on average switched their eyes back and forth between TV and computer a staggering 120 times in 27.5 minutes – or nearly once every 14 seconds, Carroll ...

Summary of NCRP Workshop on CT in Emergency Medicine, now available
