The method for recycling construction and demolition fines involves using mixed fines from construction and demolition debris that would otherwise be disposed of at landfills as an ingredient in cement or concrete. The mixed fines contain a plurality of materials selected from the group consisting of asphalt, plastics, ceramics, fiberglass and batt insulation, soil, dust, drywall, wood, plaster, paper, cardboard, dirt. The fines may also contain particles of recyclable materials, such as concrete, bricks, mortar, metals, glass, and the like. The fines may range in size from microns up to 6 inches in at least one direction. The recycler may incorporate the fines into a concrete mix for bulk sale to commercial enterprises, or may himself form precast, lightweight concrete products, such as decorative columns, pedestals and table bases, trim moldings and cornices, door surrounds, etc.

The dressing system of the present invention provides, in one aspect, a composite dressing that allows a wound to be dressed in one easy step and redressed without disturbing the wound. The composite dressing comprises a contact component having a bottom side facing a wound, and a top side. A dressing component is releasably attached to the top side of the contact component such that the dressing component can be readily separated from the contact component if pulled relative to the contact component. The contact component can remain on the wound to prevent disturbance, and another composite dressing or dressing component can be applied to the contact component.

A flexible plastic sealing cover has a container cover area and pull-tab area. In one embodiment, an upper layer of plastic film is substantially impervious to moisture and bacteria. An orientated plastic film layer is bonded to the upper layer with a layer of adhesive, such that the orientated plastic layer promotes tearing when the cover is removed with the pull-tab. An adhesive material is bonded to the layer of orientated plastic film for engaging and sealing the container top of a IV solution container. In removing the sealing cover from a container, telltale strips of the cover are left in engagement with the container to indicate the sterilized seal has been removed. In another embodiment, a single layer of plastic film substantially impervious to moisture and bacteria is bonded with a layer of adhesive material. Slits may be formed in the plastic layer to promote its separation to leave telltale sealing strips on the container upon removal of the cover.

Flexible plastic sterile closure system for containers

A sealing cover has an upper layer of plastic film substantially impervious to moisture and bacteria. A second layer of metal foil film is bonded to the plastic layer with a layer of adhesive or by extruding the plastic onto the second layer. An additional layer of adhesive material is bonded to the second layer for adhering to a carrier liner in packaging the seal and engaging the container top in resealing the container upon removal from the carrier. Upon removal of the sealing cover from a container, telltale strips of the cover are left in engagement with the container to indicate the seal has been removed. In another embodiment, a layer of metal foil is laminated between two layers of plastic film. Slits may be formed in the cover to promote its tearing to leave telltale sealing strips on the container upon removal of the cover. In another embodiment, a single layer of metal foil substantially impervious to moisture and bacteria includes a layer of adhesive material for an adhesive-coated surface for resealing the top of a container.

A laminated self-destructing sealing cover (10) has a container cover area (14) and pull tab (16). Protrusions (18) extend from the outer edge of the cover area (14) to promote proper use of the cover (10). A slit (20) may be into the protrusion (18) or the outer edge of the cover area (14) to promote tearing of the cover upon removal of a container. The bottom side of the cover (10) engaging the container top is a central disk (24) surrounded by an annular ring of adhesive material (28). Adhesive material (28) is self destructed upon removal of the cover (10) from the container to leave a telltale ring (28A) on the container top. In an alternate embodiment, an area of perforations (60) may be made in the area of the cover (10) for engaging the container top to leave a telltale trace of the cover on a container top upon removal of the cover (10).
