and Recycled Materiels" sub titled "Fifty small Business Opportunities" the
book is aprox. 200 pgs. and costs $40. plus $4. for shipping the first copy
and $1 for additional coppies. (calif. res. add 8.25% of course) This has just
been published (Dec. '98) by the Materials for the Future Foundation, they can

Each of the 50 ideas has a heading of:
manufacturing info.
equpt. & infrastructure needs
product marketing
buss. opportunity & risks
economics - feedstock cost, capitol costs, operational costs, & revenue
potential
There is much more info. on funding sources, the why and how to start, etc. in
the book as well. I just got a copy and I HIGHLY RECOMEND it.
And yes, there are a few different ideas for pallets too.
Good luck and get inspired,
