EnviroGLAS Back For Year Three

EnviroGLAS, manufacturers of a variety of post-use recycled glass and porcelain products for decorative and practical use in green home building and environmentally friendly commercial construction, has renewed its online advertising with iGreenBuild.com for a third consecutive year.

"Products like EnviroGLAS generate a lot of interest and inquiries from people responsible for designing, building and buying homes, office buildings and school facilities," stated Matt Banes iGreenBuild.com Publisher and CEO of GBM Marketing, Inc.

"Using recycled glass and porcelain to create beautiful, eco friendly floor tiles, counter tops and decorative landscaping has given EnviroGLAS a great marketing edge in the green building business. Architects, home owners and builders are consistently requesting information and samples of this product," commented Stephen Schwing who reviews eco friendly building products for iGreenBuild.com.

Online advertising appears to be on the rise in the green building market. Browse through iGreenBuild.com and you'll find hundreds of companies featuring their products and services and targeting the entire food chain of potential buyers from the end user to the person designing a green home, high performance school or LEED certified building. Needless to say, online advertising is a great fit for challenging economic times as print advertising seems to be costly in comparison to its digital equivalent.

EnviroGLAS information is quick and easy to request at iGreenBuild.com. Advertising is just as simple so give it a click and browse away.

With no special player required it's really easy to watch any of the videos we feature.

Today's Green Video publication features two clips. Clip #1 is from this week's "Eco:nomics" conference presented by The Wall Street Journal.
