Hakatai Joins U.S. Green Building Council

Ashland, OR, Oct. 10, 2008--Hakatai said it is now a member of the U.S. Green Building Council, sponsor of the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design certification program.

The USGBC membership is of great value to Hakatai, the company said, as it continues to expand its offerings of glass mosaic tile products with recycled glass content.

Tile in several Hakatai series is composed of between 30 and 70 percent glass from bottles and/or other waste glass that would otherwise have entered the solid waste stream.
