AFTER: “I’m using the Fiberglass Conduit for the masts and spars on a brigatine sailboat I’m building. While I’ll still have do some modifying, using the Fiberglass Conduit vs. paying for custom made aluminum masts is going to save me $40,000 including my extra labor to adapt the Fiberglass Conduit.” – Brion in Maine
BEFORE: “We have a big stockpile of unused Fiberglass Conduit leftover from a major data center construction project. Can you help?” – Mike
Q: Like Mike, do you have leftovers that would be a candidate for “repurposing”?? If “yes”, Email Us Details!

INBOX: “Mr. Carson, The lecture you delivered this morning to me, and my fellow Cornell students, was eye opening. I am Brandon, a current third year B.Arch student at Cornell. I’m currently in Felix Heisel ARCH 4605 (Circular Economy) elective, and my group is researching and documenting the deconstruction of the East Aurora House in Buffalo, NY. Our assigned material family is insulation materials and foils. I’m hoping to learn more about what recycling means or reuse opportunities that actually exist in the industry, as well as the opportunities and constraints.” – Brandon
We love giving back to the next generation!
