Reusing construction materials and minimising your waste provides a real opportunity for your company to reduce costs and save money. These FREE events (24th and 25th April) will help you to understand the role of contract specifications in Material Exchange and how to make the most of the exchanges operating in the region.

Tuesday 24th April, Reading
Wednesday 25th April, Brighton
Half day Seminar 8.30 - 12.30
Followed by buffet lunch and networking

These events will assist you to:
* Improve your business efficiency through better use of resources
* Dispose of materials in a cost effective way
* Find reused, reclaimed and recycled materials at low cost
* Locate the nearest and appropriate material exchange facilities in your area
* Understand the role of contract specification in material exchange

Material Exchanges can offer physical and/or virtual services. They provide information about redundant stock, surplus raw materials and reusable or recyclable waste available from other businesses. It is based on the principal that one company's waste is another's resource.

Would you like to use recycled materials but do not know where to source them?
Do you have waste streams that another organisation could make use of?
Do you want to learn more about contract specifications to help minimise your waste?

If the answer is yes then you should come along!

Who should attend

Companies that exchange their unwanted materials save money, through avoiding disposal costs and landfill tax charges.

Companies Sign Up for GlazeKart 2007

Companies are now signing up to be on the grid when the starting flag falls at GlazeKart 2007 at Milton Keynes on Friday, 29th June. This great industry networking event has already attracted a bumper entry and we are looking for more teams to join in the fun.

Everybody had such an enjoyable time at the inaugural event last year that nearly all the teams have signed up again! Returning teams include the 2006 winners, Patterson & Rothwell, together with others from Profile 22, Business Micros, Glass UK, Metal UK, Emplas and Sapa Building Systems.

They will be joined on the grid this year by some newcomers, including teams from Synseal, Winkhaus and Whiteline Group. Shouldn't your company be there?

The event can take up to 30 teams so, if your company is in some way involved in the glass or fenestration industries why don't you join many other major industry names! The cost, including all karting, event management and food and drink for the drivers throughout the day, is just £499 + VAT! Teams consist of up to 4 drivers.

Entry forms are available from Nick Moss at Walnut Motorsport on 01386 710106. There are also some limited opportunities for event sponsorship - ask Nick for details.

Venue: NSE - Bombay Exhibition Centre, Mumbai India

India has experienced some recent rapid growth in the float glass sector - a market which was pre-dominantly a sheet glass market until six years ago. Float glass currently has 70 percent market share and is driving growth in the sector. The sector has been growing at 8 percent for the last couple of years and is expected to grow at the rate of 10-15 percent in the coming years.

There has also been a massive improvement in glazing and cladding work with product innovations, the introduction of aluminium composite and steel panels, sleek fittings, etc., The concept of doors and windows has undergone considerable changes with the introduction of futuristic product innovations and transcendental improvement through the use of modern technologies.
