COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio-based companies finding new uses
for old items are featured this month in a state business-awareness
campaign sponsored by the secretary of state.
The "new uses" theme was picked to dovetail with the start of a new year.
Recipients
include a Magnolia company that refurbishes wood from barns and other
historic structures for plank flooring and an Akron company that
salvages goods for inventive uses from old factories, schools and
houses.
One featured company, EnviroFlight of Yellow Springs,
makes animal feed and oils from the bioproducts of food manufacturing,
brewing and biofuel production.
Cincinnati-based Rustic Refinery
reclaims wood and industrial metal for furniture, while a nonprofit
warehouse in Canton provides affordable used building materials to needy
families.
Ohio’s $30 billion recycling industry employs 98,000 people.
