SelecTech receives MAS Certified Green Certificate of Compliance for modular floor tiles

SelecTech, Inc., a leader in the manufacture of innovative flooring products from recycled materials, recently received the MAS Certified Green Certificate of Compliance for all its modular floor tiles. This includes SelecTech's FreeStyle BioLock, Freestyle Standard, Freestyle ESD, Place N' Go, SelecTile and SelecTile ESD. The MAS Certified Green certification is a registered trademark to delineate low VOC emitting products in the marketplace so that purchasers and specifiers of those products know that they can earn credits in sustainability programs such as U.S. Green Building Council's LEED Rating system. Materials Analytical Services, LLC, an independent provider of emissions product testing and certification of a wide variety of residential and commercial building products through the nationally recognized MAS Certified Green emissions testing program, issued the certification. "You hear various vendors making claims of their product being green or greener, yet those claims are not always backed up with solid proof," said Thomas Ricciardelli, president of SelecTech, Inc. "The MAS Certified Green certification means all our products meet the most stringent indoor air quality requirements." SelecTech flooring products are made using recycled material and are 100% recyclable. SelecTech products become an even greener choice by employing a breakthrough interlocking technology. This technology enables you to completely bypass the need for less than environmentally friendly adhesives as well as the floor prep time needed to install or replace flooring. This saves another kind of green—money—by dramatically reducing installation times because old flooring can be left in place and machinery and furniture does not have to be completely moved or removed for installation. In addition, SelecTech offers anti-static flooring products, specifically its FreeStyle ESD products. This type of flooring is typically used by industries such as electronics manufacturing, communications, aerospace, biotech and healthcare where electronics and sensitive data must be protected. SelecTech, Inc. was founded in 1993 with the mission of creating valuable products from scrap plastics. The company has become a leader in the manufacture of flooring products from recycled materials and uses one million pounds of recycled materials annually. Their products are made with up to 100% recycled content, are 100% recyclable and installed without adhesives making them some of the "greenest" and most cost-effective flooring products available. The unique interlock system on SelecTech's flooring products enable them to be installed at a much lower cost, without a lot of costly downtime, which provides significant value to customers. Using state-of-the-art technology and innovative product design, SelecTech created the top performing Place N' Go residential flooring products, which are available at Home Depot. They are also the creators of the renowned commercial and industrial FreeStyle, FreeStyle ESD and StaticStop ESD flooring lines. SelecTech is a vendor partner of Health Care Institute, an International Facility Management Association (IFMA) alliance partner. All SelecTech products are MAS Certified Green To learn more about SelecTech products, including the FreeStyle and FreeStyle ESD flooring products, visit http://www.selectechinc.com.

Investing in a falling rate environment - by Harrison Klein

Long-term interest rates have fallen by 100 basis points, and the market is normalizing. In December of 2022 I wrote an article about investing in a high interest rate, high inflation market. Since then, inflation has cooled off, and the Fed has begun lowering their funds rate.

The industrial markets have never been stronger. What has happened is that the build out of Devens with new high-tech biotech manufacturing with housing to service these buildings serves as the connector required to really make the I-495 West market sizzle. Worcester has been the beneficiary
