Look for the Top 10 Winner logo on selected products.
Award-winning independent news source Sustainable Industries today announced the release of its 2010 Top 10 Green Building Products guide, the annual publication profiling industry-leading green building products selected by a panel of expert judges and Sustainable Industries magazine’s editorial team.
This year’s Top 10 winners were selected from more than 100 entries based on their environmental performance, scalability/market impact, innovativeness, design aesthetic, value and compatibility with the U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) rating system.
The winners were announced today in a Sustainable Industries Webinar featuring Associate Editor Charles Redell and members of the judges’ panel who addressed attendees' questions about the pros and cons of the latest green building innovations. The 2010 Top 10 Green Building Products winners are highlighted in the July issue of Sustainable Industries, as well as in a digital supplement with 3D images designed by Portland’s Fat Pencil Studio. The guide is available for free at www.sustainableindustries.com/resources.

We’re confident the Top 10 Green Building Products guide provides a unique overview of some of the most innovative building materials representing the biggest trends on the market today.”

It good to see Sustainable Industries introducing the top 10 top green building product guild, people need top be aware what products are out there which are much better for the environment. Good work guys !!!!
I recently met a guy who has developed a construction product that recycles tires in a way that I have never heard of before. I don't know if you guys take submissions like this, but after I talked with this guy about what he does, I thought that I should at least do something to try to help him promote his invention. essentially he takes tires and slices them into thin strips, compresses them in a cylindrical shape with steel reinforcement and puts an coat of concrete on them to make them visually pleasing. already they have been used in our area to shore up property lines, creeks and supports in mines to name a few. These things have been tested for structural integrity and have withstood forces of over 1 million pounds. He can put over 90 tires into a cylinder about 6 ft tall. I can see them being used in green housing, barriers on highways or along roadsides in areas where highways are close to housing developments.
Just thought I should put the word out there to someone. I would like to see something good come from what he has started. You can see some examples of his product at www.scs-qc2.com. I don't think his website really gives his product justice, but at least you can see the general idea.
if you contact him please use my name so that he knows that I am looking out for him. I really want to help him bring his product to the market.
