Mark Bouri and EBM

The Bouri family is probably best known for founding Seament, the first company to utilize floating terminals to distribute bulk building materials, but this is far from the only project they have their hands on. Charles Bouri, for example, also manages Seabulk, and Alexander Bouri is on the board of directors for Envipco. The list goes on for all members of the immediately family, but EBM, or Environmental Building Materials, spearheaded by Mark Bouri, is one of the truly interesting companies in the bloodline.

We live in a day and age where the harm we are doing to our Earth is becoming visible and it's starting to plague our consciences. While some choose to turn the other cheek, others are deciding to be proactive, and that is exactly the purpose of EBM. EBM is a leading provider of bulk materials, but is also an innovator for conservation and waste elimination. They make it their mission to repurpose wasteful by-products into completely usable materials for construction companies. As a result, members of the construction industry are able to improve the quality of their jobs while also saving money. New markets are created in return, and what would once be a negative cost is now a positive return for these companies. It creates a win-win situation.

The company is able to succeed as the result of intensive research and market analysis. They perform testing and quality control on their products, projects, and development to ensure that each company that uses their products gets the desired results. As a result, the earth benefits due to the reduction of waste and the decreased depletion rate of precious resources.

It would be ideal for all businesses to begin employing environmentally conscious strategies in an attempt to control and reduce the potential damage to the environment. That may be far-off into the future; however, businesses like EBM and Envipco are most certainly a good start.
