[papercreters] Re: Earth Day

Hi Clair


You've got me interested :) I checked out the site but didnt find any details there. I'm also interested in turning waste streams into building materials.
Did you use flyash alone, or with cement?
You mention hammer milling plastics, I'm wondering what you can do with the result.


Regards, NT
