Alternative Construction Technologies proves ability to gain entry into billion dollar alternative materials spending market by Federal, State, and Local governments MELBOURNE, Fla., Oct. 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Alternative Construction Technologies, Inc. (BULLETIN BOARD: ACCY) today announced that its ACTech(R) Panel has recently achieved inclusion in the California Integrated Waste Management Board's (CIWMB) Recycled-Content Product Directory (RCPD), including compliance with the State Agency Buy Recycled Campaign (SABRC). This listing assists state agencies and other public entities to comply with laws requiring them to purchase recycled, repairable, and durable goods. The ACTech(R) panel system earned its compliance by demonstrating that the steel used in its manufacture is composed of sixty-eight percent (68%) post-consumer (PC) recycled content (seventy-three percent [73%] total recycled content), easily exceeding the ten percent (10%) minimum PC content required to attain SABRC compliance. In addition, the formula for the rigid polyurethane foam, the other major panel component used in the panels, contains approximately nine percent (9%) recycled material. The ACTech(R) panel system can play the leading role in the construction of "Green" buildings, EnergyStar-qualified homes, and LEED-certified buildings. The ease with which the materials may be recycled, in addition to its energy efficiency, recycled content, resistance to moisture, mildew and mold, resistance to insect infestation, and indoor air quality, all play an indispensable role in establishing ACTech's panel system as a best of class industry leader. "They are CFC- and HCFC-free", stated A.J. Francel, the company's COO. Mr. Francel went on to say, "Our aim is to become recognized by all the major endorsing and certifying organizations and agencies of the "e"-friendly revolution, as well as, gain entry to the billions of dollars now being spent by Federal, State, and Local governments on alternative materials."
