Investment Opportunity: Sustainable Building Products

This company maintains a proven, proprietary process by which it takes waste streams (some of them toxic, e.g., coal ash) and turns them into profit centers in the form of polymer composites, extruded into high-quality building products (especially roofing shingles) that are structurally superior in strength and stiffness, as well as resistant to fire, weather, mold and termites.

This unique and cost-effective process involves taking solid wastes (coal ash, mine tailings, waste glass, red mud, and incinerator ash,) in dry granular form, mixing them with a liquid thermosetting polymer resin, and producing synthetic lumber goods. The procedure takes about a minute, and the products are ready to ship in an hour.

The business environment for this couldn’t be stronger. There is no direct competition, and there is most definitely a growing concern about the toxicity of some of these waste streams, as well as a huge boom in sustainable building products of all types.
