waste. The recycling of some forms of C&D waste can contribute to production of other kinds of products, and many kinds of non-construction waste can be directed towards the production of building materials. For example, certain kinds of recyclable plastic can be made into plastic or wood-plastic composite lumber. And glass can be used to make glass tiles. MRF-based parks can be integrated with Reused Building Materials Centres, places which short-circuit landfills altogether and avoid the mixing and separating stages. Green Technology EIP: Most Green Technology EIPs are not primarily oriented to materials or resource sharing; their tenants tend to be more interested in shared services, information sharing, pollution prevention and cutting-edge green technologies in any number of areas. They typically act as incubators for environmental innovation. Very often they are made up of advanced green buildings, using minimal energy, employing renewable energy sources and featuring the most ecological materials in their construction. They tend to be models of ecological building and site management. Variations on the Green Technology EIP hold great promise as showcases for green building materials, not just in their own construction, but as locations for green building materials showrooms and retailing centres. Ideally, some retailing centres would also incorporate features of MRF-EIPs because of the importance of reuse and recycling to green building material markets. Bio-Materials EIP: As I will discuss later in this chapter, the production of plantbased materialsand cultivation of a Carbohydrate Economyis an essential means of detoxifying production and lessening the power of the petrochemical
