Construction industry accolades keep coming for VAST Composite Permeable Pavers. On November 16, 2010 at Greenbuild, Environmental Design + Construction (ED+C) and Sustainable Facility magazines announced that VAST Composite Permeable Pavers were voted Best Exterior Product in the annual Readers’ Choice Awards . Now the December 2010 issue of BUILDERNews is out with the editors’ annual Best Product picks. They selected VAST Composite Permeable Pavers for Mixed-use/Multifamily projects based on the pavers’ durability, innovation and sustainability.

The editors of BUILDERNews praised the performance and weight advantage of VAST Composite Permeable Pavers and highlighted VAST’s installation grid as a unique innovation. “The VAST pavers weigh eight pounds per square foot (versus about 30 pounds per square foot for concrete permeable pavers), making VAST less energy-intensive and less costly to transport, easier to work with on job sites, and great for use in flat and green roof applications,” said John Chilson, editor-in-chief. “But we really liked the patented grid system because it saves time and reduces the amount of labor required for paver installation.”

“VAST installation grids are laid out on a sub-base prepared just as it is for conventional landscape or permeable pavers,” explained Steve Smith, chief technology officer, VAST Enterprises, LLC. “When VAST pavers are inserted into the grids, they are automatically spaced and aligned correctly for excellent results.”

VAST Enterprises is the materials science research and manufacturing company that invented and patented composite masonry: the world’s first and only rubber-plastic composite that offers the strength, durability, natural appearance, and design versatility to replace molded concrete and traditional clay brick in hardscape and landscape applications. BuilderNews is a national building trade publication with a monthly circulation of 80,000 and monthly readership of 307,000 — including builders, contractors, developers, suppliers, and construction product specifiers in high-growth residential and multifamily homebuilding markets.

VAST Composite Permeable Pavers infiltrate rainwater into the soil to reduce rain runoff into storm drains and decrease stormwater pollution. The pavers have a tested infiltration rate of more than 450 inches per hour (4.9 gallons per square foot per minute) when installed with aggregate conforming to ASTM D448 No. 8.

Like all VAST composite masonry products, the permeable pavers are manufactured in VAST’s engineered composite material, a proprietary blend of up to 95 percent recycled car tires and plastic containers. The VAST production process requires 94 percent less energy and releases 89 percent less carbon dioxide than concrete product manufacture.

“We engineer our composite masonry products to be more than green. We design them outperform the products they replace,” said Andy Vander Woude, chief executive officer, VAST Enterprises, LLC. “That’s why VAST continues to win awards from construction industry professionals and experts in materials science technology.”

VAST Enterprises won the Minnesota Cup as the most innovative start-up company in Minnesota in September 2006. Since then VAST has continued to win awards, including:

First Place, Mid-Am Innovation Showcase, Mid-America Horticultural Trade Show, January 2009

Top 10 Green Building Products, EcoHome Editors’ Choice Awards, August 2009

Article by hi joiney

Recent years, the acceleration of replacement of electronic products for “e-waste” increasingly rampant, if handled properly will evolve into a potential threat of environmental pollution. With last month a “waste electrical and electronic products recycling regulations,” the introduction, the state waste electrical and electronic products processing will permit the qualifications system, proposed the establishment of e-waste collection and centralized treatment system diversification, processing enterprises will enjoy tax concessions and subsidies for countries to deal with the Fund. The Ordinance will be implemented in 2011. Industry, said the publication of the Ordinance, is expected to present in the chaos of the e-waste industry is facing collapsed opportunity to industrialization golden. Regulations for the “gray” industry It is understood that China’s household electrical appliances have begun to enter retirement peak, the current domestic total amount of electronic waste generated each year up to more than 820 million tons. In accordance with the authority of the department’s estimates, in 2010 the total scrapping of urban electronic products will reach 1.3 billion units, while in Beijing will reach 158,300 tons of electronic waste. Such a large-scale e-waste BC TCT R? The practitioners of “pointing”, the reporter went to the Beijing Haidian District, the largest electronic transfer station after the eight Village. Standing along a village lane asphalt mixing loess looked out of the village all kinds of goods are crowded, and roll up the dust mixed with the smell of plastic burning smell from time to time have a car will stop Old computers, old electrical discharge side of the road. Occasionally found in the small courtyard you can see bundles of scrap computer cases, keyboards, circuit boards, printers, 35 of women in the courtyard holding a screwdriver, pliers with a class of tools for disassembly of used goods. In about 1 km long on both sides of the street, dozens of large and small, distributed such electronic waste collection point. May be aware of doing business is not a regular, almost all the larger point of the yard is linked to a “non-hospital staff no entry” sign. Journalists to bulk sell the name of the computer into a scrap yard, to see tens of flat screen monitors stacked at the door, on the other side is full of scrap printer base three or four meters, scales, and the yard three deep at National Taiwan University Let’s feel the tire marks where business was good, the owner Lao Tan in bargaining has complained to the economic crisis the village recycling industry to “winter.” Laotan a deep sigh, pointing to the gate stack of a mouse, keyboard and modem, said: “Look out that just tidy up, are worthless and can only be sold on the balance of burden. By the financial impact of the crisis, this year’s business as before, the people out of low rate of computer appliances, and the recovery of the South is not good business to do, we collecting unwanted waste product. “When asked about the specific price, Lao Tan said:” Last year, a Qi Chengxin LCD can sell more than 300 dollars, and now 150 on the good. flat screen monitor is now giving money to sell 10 20-dollar how much you how much I have. ” Laotan this compound in the following eight Village abound. Reporters and chatted with the shop owner in a supermarket that, the village occupied almost all foreigners, mostly from Henan people, most of them engaged in the business of electronic waste. The original business is good, delivery trucks keep coming every day, starting from last winter, business has a lot of depression. To deliver less, in the village during the day the men themselves Dengzhe dray out sourcing, the women at home, some order, dismantling of living. As the flow of waste disassembled, the supermarket owner, said: “Large trucks are sent with e-waste a large distribution center for the South, and here is where transit and aggregation.” Earlier this year, a foreign media, foreign e-waste into the shooting Guangdong Video News Guiyu town caused great repercussions. According to public information, located in north eastern Guangdong region of Guiyu Lianjiang, recycling of electronic waste each year in the megaton or more, known as the world’s largest electronic waste dismantling bases. Here, engaged in dismantling, processing of the village there are 20, more than 300 enterprises, over 80% of the town staff engaged in e-waste dismantling. To save costs, a family workshop Guiyu often the most direct and most primitive manner of electronic waste dismantling, scrap wire and cable burning them with acid wash circuit boards, which is no longer recyclable waste was once incinerated or in-place pile. This has resulted in serious pollution of the local environment, polluted air, polluted waterways, soil poisoning, according to statistics where the probability of children suffering from leukemia a few times higher than other areas.

The need to package food, consumer and industrial products in a more sustainable and affordable way dominates the worldwide packaging industry, according to DuPont?s global survey of consumer packaged goods companies and packaging converters.

More than 500 packaging professionals were surveyed and over 40 percent sited sustainability as the toughest challenge while 33 percent named cost as a major factor.

?Sustainable, cost-effective solutions that reduce packaging?s environmental footprint are a top goal across geographies,? said William J. Harvey, president ? DuPont Packaging & Industrial Polymers. ?This is especially true in the food and beverage industry, where consumer demand for products supporting health and wellness goes hand-in-hand with a demand for more sustainable solutions.?

The Many Faces of Sustainability

Meeting sustainability challenges requires multiple strategies, according to survey results. Of those respondents working on sustainable packaging, 65 percent say their efforts are focused on design for recyclability or use of recycled content; 57 percent are focused on weight reduction; 41 percent rely on renewable or bio-based materials and 25 percent say they are focused on compostable materials.

?These survey results confirm that there are many pathways to improving packaging sustainability,? said Harvey. ?It starts with close collaboration throughout the value chain to spark innovation.?

DuPont Packaging & Industrial Polymers offers customers a number of ways to enhance the sustainability of their products. DuPont? Fusabond? resins are modified polymers that help bond dissimilar polymers to help facilitate recycling. The high-performance characteristics of DuPont? Surlyn? ionomer help reduce the total amount of material in packaging structures. DuPont? Biomax? Strong modifier helps bio-based PLA (polylactic acid) products gain more widespread use by enhancing performance attributes that limit its acceptance. DuPont? Biomax? PTT resin, with up to 35 percent renewably sourced content, can replace petroleum-derived polyesters to help reduce dependence on fossil fuels and net emissions of greenhouse gases without compromising performance.

To identify the top issues facing the packaging industry, DuPont conducted an on-line survey of packaging professionals in March 2011. Of the nearly 500 professionals responding to the open-ended question, 41 percent were from the United States, 44 percent from China and 15 percent from the rest of the world. Of the 200 professionals responding to the closed-ended question, 70 percent were from the United States and 30 percent were from the rest of the world.

DuPont Packaging & Industrial Polymers manufactures an extensive mix of adhesive, barrier, peelable lidding and sealant resins and provides a globally networked development team to work with customers on packaging programs that help protect the product, environment, improve shelf appeal, convenience and reduce cost in the food, cosmetics, medical products and other consumer goods and industrial packaging industries.

DuPont ? one of the first companies to publicly establish environmental goals 20 years ago ? has broadened its sustainability commitments beyond internal footprint reduction to include market-driven targets for both revenue and research and development investment. The goals are tied directly to business growth, specifically to the development of safer and environmentally improved new products for key global markets.

DuPont (http://www.dupont.com) is a science-based products and services company.

Massive volumes of plastic products are disposed worldwide every year, exerting enormous pressure on the ecological balance. All such plastics form potential candidates for substitution by biodegradable polymers in future. Applications of biodegradable polymers, which were hitherto mostly confined to compostable waste bags/carrier bags, agriculture mulching film, and catering sectors, is rapidly widening to other sectors, including automotive, electronics, toy making, and healthcare. With enhanced processability, extending customer base and improved costs, biodegradable polymers are proving to be environmentally beneficial and economically viable alternative to conventional polymers. These polymers have generated wide scale interest amongst customers and companies alike. The presence of a sizable potential market has opened up a plethora of opportunities for companies within the chemical, agricultural, and plastic sectors.

Europe presently accounts for majority of the biodegradable polymers market, as stated by a new market research report on Biodegradable Polymers. However, the soaring landfill prices in the US provide the market with significant growth opportunity. Factors such as fast depletion of petroleum-based raw materials, growing consumer awareness, global warming and increasing concerns over solid waste disposal, would continue to drive demand for biodegradable polymers in the US. In addition, Asian countries, including China and Japan, also exhibit strong growth potential for biodegradable polymers.

It is sometimes said that the scrapping and recycling of motor vehicles will become the next big industry. There are also many who say that it is already a big industry as manufacturers are spending large amounts of money in preparing their products for increased levels of recycling.

Both opinions are correct, and, as an industry, recycling is going to become even bigger. There is a growing acknowledgement that vehicle scrappage and recycling is a pressing global problem that must be tackled on a world scale, as 1.6 billion tonnes of scrap materials will need to be processed over the twenty-year period from 2001 to 2020 inclusive.

This special research report is a determined attempt to put some numbers onto the size of the challenge, so that it can better be defined and solutions achieved. The report looks at the future growth of the motor industry – including the dramatic rise in activity in the developing world – up to 2020. It takes into account vehicle sales volumes and average vehicle weights, and builds into the equations assumptions as to how vehicle weights reduce year on year as the fight for an energy efficient, less polluting and environmentally friendly motor vehicle moves to the top of the agenda.
