Help Wanted: Greening of the Pool Industry

Hi Tiffany,

I am hoping you can post something on your GreenDrinks blog for me. As I told you at our last function I am working with a local pool company. My two major tasks are 1) to come up with opportunities for waste diversion, and 2) to find eco-friendly alternatives for a lot of the hazardous materials being used in construction such as adhesives, bonding agents, cements, acrylics, appoxys etc. The questions I would like posted are:

1. Do you know of any companies that may be interested in the recycle or reuse of PVC piping, Vinyl pool lining, or heavy duty polymer based plastics?

2. Do you have any suggestions for environmentally friendly construction materials hardy enough for pool design?

I figured this might be a good way to gain more information seeing how information appears to be limited particularly in the North American pool industry.

Thanks,
Jen Reid
