Material of the Week: 08.02.2009 Coverings Etc. Bio-Glass

I found this week's Material of the Week thanks to LK Wilhelms of Green Box Solutions, who represents Coverings Etc's products.

Bio-Glass is a translucent glass surface that is made of 100% recycled glass and that is 100% recyclable. It is also Cradle-to-Cradle certified and is eligible for LEED credit.

The recycled content of the material yields an amazing texture in its translucency. Bio-Glass can be applied as a counter-top surface, exterior cladding, and more.

Materials Resource Center News

This week, some of us at the Materials Resource Center had the opportunity to meet with LK Wilhelms of Green Box Solutions. LK represents sustainable materials and products in range of applications.

LK spoke with us about the materials she represents, how and where the are made, and how they compare with less sustainable alternatives. It was great to hear about products that are not only worth LEED credit, but also have been Cradle-to-Cradle certified, and even Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified.

Some of the manufacturers that LK currently represents include Smith & Fong Plyboo, Coverings Etc., Ceilings Plus, and BASWAphon.
