Noble Environmental Technologies develops high-value recycling technologies and manufactures the ECOR® product line of advanced green building materials. ECOR is a sustainable alternative to a range of traditional building materials including wood, mdf, foam board and cardboard. It is used by architects, designers, product developers for a range of applications including furniture and fixtures, interior decor, printed graphics, point of sale displays, commercial packaging, decorative wall panels and an array of building products. ECOR offers true competitive advantages over traditional materials, as it is designed to be lighter weight, higher performance, durable, clean (VOC-free), green (made from up to 100% recycled materials + recyclable) and ultimately cost less. Using ECOR instead of virgin materials also saves trees, reduces pollution and landfill waste. Integrated ECOR solutions uniquely provide enterprise, manufacturing and government partners a turn-key solution to recoup substantial revenues from their waste streams by creating a closed-loop system. These solutions are ideal for regional governments and manufacturers that want to engage in the circular economy, reduce their environmental impact and convert their waste into wealth.
