ReSource St. Louis History
In the Spring of 2003, a ceiling tile recycling presentation by Armstrong World Industries inspired David Bertorelli and John Prater of ERAC (Enterprise Rent-A-Car) to consider partnering with other corporations, business owners and organizations to achieve the minimum standards to recover ceiling tiles. Shortly after the presentation they invited a small group of facility managers, engineers and architects to participate in a discussion on how to enhance recycling efforts and materials reuse in the St. Louis Region. From that initial meeting, and through strong support from the local IFMA (International Facilities Management Association) chapter, a group was formed with the intent of reducing construction and demolition "waste" ending up in local landfills, targeting the large number of major corporate headquarters located in the bi-state St. Louis region. Through a generous grant from the St. Louis-Jefferson County Solid Waste District, that the organization created the region's first web-based Materials Exchange. Its members spans private and public, profit and non-profit, and large and small company sectors.
