Local business update
MBiz.com is reporting that Herman Miller, in conjunction with VanderWall Brothers Concrete, has developed a process to mix scrap powder paint into the concrete counterweights used inside their office products. This process removes waste from landfills, and produces a concrete block with positive improvements. VanderWall Brothers are hoping to develop a process that will let them use all the powder paint scrap and use it in other products. Congratulations to both companies!
