San Diego-based Noble Environmental Technologies, maker of the ECOR product line, says its recycled-content manufacturing techniques offer solutions to a wide variety of consumer product makers, retailers and other generators of waste and scrap.

”We believe that ECOR is the future of green building, sustainable design, advanced recycling systems and it enables large enterprises, manufacturers and governments an immediate solution to engage in the circular economy and access substantial recycling revenues from fiber waste,” says Jay S. Potter, director of Noble Environmental Technologies.

Potter says Noble develops “high-value waste conversion technologies [and] advanced ECOR green building materials that enable turn-key closed-loop solutions for commercial and government enterprises.” ECOR building materials and products, says Potter, are lightweight, low-cost, high-performance, free of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and contain up to 100 recycled content and are easily recyclable.

On its website, ECOR says it uses a variety of scrap materials, including office paper, cardboard, denim and other fabrics, hemp, jute, sugar cane bagasse, corn husks, sawdust, wood trimmings and cow manure, to convert them into “nutrients that can then be used to produce clean, healthy products.”

“While the circular economy has begun disrupting the way we produce and consume products, researchers from Accenture and McKinsey & Co. estimate that major brands currently lose out on $11.4 billion per year in recycling revenues,” says Potter. “ECOR provides [a] solution that enables enterprises to immediately access these substantial revenues – by converting their waste into ECOR-based materials and products they use (in place of wood, medium-density fiberboard, foam, cardboard, etc.),” he adds.

Potter continues, “Imagine if Starbucks could recycle coffee grounds and commercial waste and convert it into materials used to build out new stores, furniture and packaging; or if Walmart could recycle all of their retail store paper and cardboard waste and convert it into home décor, furniture products, retail shelving and displays; or if Levi’s recycled old clothing and/or denim lint from manufacturing to convert it into material used for retail furniture, displays and hangers. ECOR makes these ‘great ideas’ not only possible—but economical and profitable,” he states.
