Recycled Toilets Find a Home ... 
EnviroGLAS Products principal Tim Whaley was granted a U.S. patent in 2003 for developing the 'method of making a terrazzo surface from recycled glass.' ... Two years and several awards later ... Whaley is at it again. This time it was the City of Dallas who asked him if he could do anything with a bunch of old toilets and commodes. The juices started flowing and soon EnviroMODETM was born.   EnviroMODE already is earning accolades for its sustainable and innovative nature. The National Recycling Coalition will honor EnviroGLAS Products with their 2006 Outstanding Market Development award for EnviroMODE On October 23 at their national convention in Atlanta. 

EnviroMODE Terrazzo floor PLANKS and samples will be on display at the EnviroGLAS Products booth at the Greenbuild International Conference and Expo in Denver this November 15-17. Anyone interested in EnviroMODE is encouraged to stop by booth 1430 to see, touch and walk on this revolutionary application. 

Heat and scratch resistant, EnviroMODE and EnviroGLAS surfaces are highly resistant to common stains and are easily cleaned with neutral cleansers. The products are VOC-free and do not require a seal. For more information, go to www.enviromode.com and www.enviroglasproducts.com.
