Yes I have heard of Evoca...Hey Going With the Flow!<br />Yes I have heard of Evocative Design and Greensulate. They are based in New York State up near Troy, New York, not far from where I live in Ulster County. The company grew out of experimentation done by two students at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. They are also making packaging from agricultural waste materials called EcoCradle. I've been meaning to call them up to do a story because I've been following them for a few years since they first appeared in the green space. Check them out:http://www.ecovativedesign.com.<br />Thanks for the dialog, PaulPaul McGinnisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10597274577419581029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8332772528167165351.post-70206414660806574592010-01-31T07:00:54.583-08:002010-01-31T07:00:54.583-08:00Paul, have you heard of Greensulate yet? Greensula...Paul, have you heard of Greensulate yet? Greensulation is a renewable and biodegradable fire retardant insulation created with sustainable resources: mostly rice hulls, mushroom roots and recycled paper. Able to withstand heat up to 1,112 degrees Fahrenheit, it contains no petroleum products and can be produced cheaply. It can be molded into just about any shape...panels, brace end forms, columns, etc. When crumbled and supersaturated with water, the product naturally decomposes. Its inventors, Ecovative Design, LLC, are setting up production facilities on Green Island, New York.Going with the flowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10621422265292593534noreply@blogger.com
