Introducing: Valders Platinum
Jun 22, 2010
|
| |
Valders Stone & Marble, Inc. is proud to announce the addition of a new color to
its product line. Valders Platinum is the same quality Type III, Dolomitic Limestone you have come to expect from our company. This distinct color comes from our main Valders quarry,and is very similar to our Dovewhite in composition and performance characteristics. The particular vein where this color comes from yields a stone with dramatic silvery movement. Known as “mottling,” this stone had a high concentration of sea shells and shell fragments within it while it was being formed. The intense compaction that created our densely grained stone turned these living organisms into part of the stone’s color. Choose a honed or polished finish to help enhance Platinum’s patina, or elect a sandblasted finish to create a more subtle, yet visually appealing look.
Be sure to contact Valders Stone & Marble today to receive samples for our newest
color, which may be the perfect fit for your particular project. |

Company-Wide Recycling Program Starts
May 27, 2010
|
| |
Eden Stone Company and Valders Stone & Marble, Inc. have recently begun a company-
wide recycling program aimed at reducing the amount of waste being taken to area
landfills, maximizing the re-use of waste products generated in our facilities, and minimizing disposal costs. Our “single stream” recycling program allows us to place all recyclable items into one receptical while placing all non-recyclable material into another. This greatly simplifies the task of waste disposal. Recyclable items include aluminum, glass, plastic, paper, and cardboard. Items such as paper plates, napkins, and cups contaminated with food residue, and material contaminated with oil are not recyclable.
The employees of Eden Stone/Valders Stone & Marble have enthusiastically embraced
the program. Constant vigilance and inspection by committed employees keep the
recycling process running smoothly.
Everybody supports recycling and wants to do it because “it’s the right thing to do.”
But there is always the nagging economic side of the issue. If it costs too much to recycle, nobody will do it. However, the cost of waste disposal throughout the company has actually undergone a slight decrease, so even our accountants are smiling!
As landfill space becomes more and more scarce, everyone at work and at home
needs to be conscious of where their waste material is going. Here at Eden Stone/Valders Stone & Marble, we are doing our best to minimize waste, recycle what we can, and keep the environment healthy.
