DENVER, June 20, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Construction
Specialties (C/S), a leading manufacturer of high-performing
commercial building products, and Earth911, Inc, an Infinity
Resources Holdings company (OTCQB: IRHC) (OTCBB: IRHC), that
supports the growth and goals of businesses and the information
needs of consumers on topics relevant to recycling and low-waste,
are both pleased to introduce Construction Specialties' Recycling
Locator – the first such tool to address recycling solutions for
commercial building products. The tool debuted today at the 2013
AIA National Convention in Denver
and can be found at http://www.c-sgroup.com/corporate/recycling.
The locator provides consumers with the information and resources
necessary to conveniently recycle and properly dispose of
materials.
This venture is one more confirmation of Construction
Specialties' environmental commitment to enhancing their
manufacturing practices and advocating a circular economy. By
adopting the Cradle to Cradle® philosophy, C/S understands the
importance of designing products for disassembly and reuse, thereby
closing the loop on their products' lifecycles. Because knowing
where to recycle building materials involves locating proper
disposal for less common and harder to recycle items, C/S worked
closely with Earth911 to create its own custom-recycling search
tool to address its customers' specific needs. This included
identifying and verifying new facilities that would take C/S'
materials in addition to utilizing Earth911's Recycling
Directory.
Construction Specialties' personalized Recycling Locator allows
users to be geo-located or they can enter their zip code to find
the most convenient recycling center. The locator assists users in
finding landfill alternatives for the following materials:
- Aluminum
- Stainless steel
- Polyester curtains
- Doors
- Mastic primer
- Mastic adhesive
"It's exciting to see Construction Specialties step out as a
true leader and tackle the challenge to demystify recycling for the
benefit of an entire manufacturing segment. Construction materials
are definitely a category of material that sorely needs attention,"
said Corey Lambrecht, Earth911
President and COO. "The Recycling Locator is the most comprehensive
solution to herald this change. We're thrilled to be a part of this
first in the construction industry."
"We've been designing products with the Cradle to Cradle® goal
in mind. Utilizing this tool can help to complete the lifecycle of
used materials, preventing them from ending up in a landfill." said
Howard Williams, vice president and
general manager of C/S. "Now, we're implementing an essential piece
of the upcycling puzzle, thanks to the help of Earth911. We're
educating customers on where they can take their used materials to
be recycled for future use."
