Start-up creates local loop for recycled glass

Article Abstract:

Fire and Light is a small glass recycling operation in Arcata, CA, initially envisioned to manufacture glass tiles from recycled glass. Unfortunately, their facility is not large enough for a tile-making operation. A local artist suggested making recycled glass dinnerware instead. There were problems in shifting the product line ranging from capitalization concerns to equipment to sorting the glass to be recycled but the company has managed to solve these.

Turning animal by-products into resources

Article Abstract:

Increased emphasis is being placed on the use of by-products from animal production and processing. There has been insufficient exchange of knowledge and practices between animal agriculture by-products and biosolids utilization. However, some areas of research have yielded valuable results. These include the poultry carcass composting procedure developed by Cooperative Extension staff at the University of Maryland and the University of Delaware.
