Edeck® uses rice hulls which are an agricultural waste product that would normally be disposed in a landfill. We mix rice hulls with HDPE into a compoun.d which is 100% recyclable for processing. Our polymers are virgin so as to assure consistent quality in the finished deck board. No. Edeck® requires no water repellents, stain or special cleaners. Edeck® may be cleaned with water and a mild detergent when normal dirt and pollutants coat the surface of Edeck®.

Newsprint is processed into pulp for new newsprint. Recycling 1 tonne of newsprint saves enough wood to equal 2.5 telephone poles. Paper products are processed into boxboard and corrugated cardboard boxes. Paper products are also used in the production of construction and building materials (insulation, etc.). 23% less energy is used to make paper from waste paper than from trees.

Yes. Our WestStar composite decking is made from recycled HDPE plastic and recycled wood. These materials are then blended with a colorant and U.V. stabilizer to make West Star, a tough long lasting, no maintenance decking. Our decking is splinter free, slip resistant, and comes with a wood grain finish. We offer different color options and a West Star composite hand railing system to match our decking.

No. Unfortunately, Bartow County does not make a profit by selling the processed recycled materials. The real savings associated with recycling is twofold. First, recycling saves valuable non-renewable natural resources. Second, recycling keeps recyclable goods out of the landfill which saves valuable space.

They are taken to a specialist plant (a Materials Recycling Facility) where they are sorted and sent for reprocessing.

Cans, glass bottles and jars can be rinsed using the water that you have washed your dishes in, but take care with any sharp edges. There is no need for them to be completely cleaned using fresh water, as long as any large amounts of food residues are taken out. However, the cleaner they are the less risk there is of smell or making other things mucky.

Once a used wireless device is dropped off at a participating retail store, or mailed to a carrier or manufacturer with mail-in programs, the product will typically be packaged and shipped to a facility for evaluation. From there, it will be: Reused: If wireless devices and accessories are in good working condition, they are re-used by a number of worthy charities. Refurbished: Wireless devices may be reconditioned or repaired.

In order for us to keep the cost of this service as low as possible for our customers, we need to be efficient at your curb when collecting your material. Sorting according to the list provided to you helps us to cut down on the amount of time that we spend collecting materials, which in turn cuts down on labour costs.

Some of our goods are made of recycled materials. These are marked in the product pages with a logo that says "MADE FROM RECYCLED MATERIALS"

Manufacturers take your recyclables and make them into new products such as copy paper, post-it notes, index cards, file folders, newspapers, cereal boxes, paper towels, egg cartons, envelopes, napkins, aluminum cans, glass containers, compost bins, recycling collection containers, plastic lumber, traffic cones, carpeting, car bumpers, trash bags, and laundry detergent bottles. This is just a short list of recycled products.

No. Our decking is an engineered vinyl formulation that includes ultraviolet inhibitors to shield it from the sun's harmful rays. Impact modifiers give added strength and impact resistance in all weather conditions, while preventing cracking, denting or splitting.

While maintaining superior quality, the use of raw materials has been significantly reduced by replacing them with recycled industrial byproducts. The industry has also reduced its own waste by recycling more than 75 percent of cement kiln dust (CKD) – nearly eight million tons each year – directly back into the cement kiln as raw material. By doing so, manufacturers conserve energy and reduce use of limestone and other virgin raw materials.

Our pavers are ideal products for any freeze/thaw environment. Proper installation of the product results in a pavement that is firm, yet flexible. The joints between pavers allow the walkway, driveway, patio, etc. to move without cracking. In addition, they can be easily removed to allow for repairs or access to utilities. Unlike asphalt, concrete pavers are basically maintenance-free and do not need to be regularly sealed or replaced.

Yes they can. Aphano hidden deck fasteners were designed to complement the structural integrity of composite deck materials. Composite decking is a high quality product and does not have the same limitations as wood. If wood decking is used then it needs to be properly sealed to prevent water penetration. This is done more easily with Aphano hidden deck fasteners because there are no penetrations on the top or sides of the deckboards.

Kodak is very concerned about the environment and about the impact our products have on it. Our CD-R discs are manufactured under strict guidelines to minimize environmental impact. There is very little waste generated in CD-R manufacture as most materials are recycled and reclaimed. A CD-R disc is not considered a hazardous waste; by far the largest component is the substrate, which is made from polycarbonate, a rather universal material.

Yes to both. Innovations in packaging have helped reduce the total amount of materials used and increase the percentage of recycled content. HP packaging accomplishments: HP single inkjet cartridge packaging in North America uses 100-percent recycled paperboard with 50-percent, post-consumer content. HP recently introduced new HP inkjet print cartridge multipack packaging which uses 60 percent less material than the previous plastic clamshell solution.

Plastic food trays like margarine tubs and microwave meal containers and yoghurt pots cannot currently be recycled as there is no market demand for them. Also polystyrene, foil lined waxed cartons like soup, juice and milk cartons, food waste and soil cannot currently be recycled in Bracknell Forest.

All Carpeted BedSlides (Standard, RL or XL) use a 3/4"" CDX plywood overlaid with an indoor/outdoor synthetic carpet. On the WEATHERDECK and Contractor Grades we use a 3/4" Marine-grade 7-ply plywood that has a vapor-barrier lamination both top and bottom and then overlaid with a 1/4" rubber mat.
