Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release European standards for biomass published from
Forestry Commission, which we summarised at the time by saying "European technical standards governing the production of solid biomass fuels are now available for downloading from the UK's Biomass Energy Centre website".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Symphony gets 'in sink' with waste from
Symphony: "Kitchen expert Symphony team up with world leading food waste disposers InSinkErator - part of Emerson Electric - to supply waste disposers across the public and private housing sectors".
In November 2007, we covered the news from Schluter-Systems
concerning its Effects of new technology and tile design
- take a look at Effects of new technology on tile design
which says: "Ian Knifton, Technical Manager at Schluter-Systems, explains how advancing technology is eliminating the need for movement joints in screed, which gives greater flexibility in surface tile design".
Take a look also at the news release from Castle Cement, Castle Cement leads way in protecting environment,
as well as Easilift boss is new ALEM President from Easilift Loading Systems,
