I get a high tech architecture mag that always lists new "green"
products.. this one caught my eye. It is used/aimed more for larger
commercial buildings, but the demand is there by the customer in all
arenas they say. Fabcon's VersaCore+Green

<<< current issue I
saw the news in- but not the little blurb itself
ITEM BLURB: REcast Precast Panels : Fabcon's VersaCore+Green
precast concrete panel has 58% post consumer waste and increased R
value of R13 for 8" to R21 for 12" thick panel. with width up to 12
feet for wall construction.
Unuseable/damaged panels are recrushed to make new ones. << sounds like
papercrete?? the EPS and cement use sounds a lot like the Paracrete
material too, created by a guy in MI >

The magazine may have some useful info for you Code and data folk
working on this...and a place to get more ideas?
