Tennessee Materials Exchange
The Tennessee Materials Exchange (TME) promotes the beneficial use of material
resources, especially those considered to be wastes destined for disposal. It
is a free service, operated by The University of Tennessee Center for Industrial
Services, that helps Tennessee businesses find markets for industrial by-products,
surplus materials and wastes. Material that one company classifies as waste may
be raw material to another. The TME lists potentially useful materials, available
and wanted, and serves as a matchmaker between those who have materials and those
who want them.
TME listings are updated monthly.

Special Report
2003 On-Site Grinding and Reuse of Scrap Material at
New Home Construction Sites Report
In May and June 2003, UT CIS conducted four waste reduction demonstrations for TDEC's Division of
Community Assistance. Each demonstration event was hosted by a builder who volunteered his site to
visitors who wanted to learn more about reducing the waste from new construction. Grinding of certain
wastes and reuse on-site was demonstrated. In addition, visitors received information and discussed the
viability and economics of waste reduction and green building techniques.
UT CIS has published a comprehensive
report on these demonstrations and the related issues of waste
reduction in the construction industry.
