Axion Golf, the recently-launched division of Axion International Holdings and provider of 100-percent recycled materials for building vehicular and pedestrian bridges, boardwalks and landscaping features, will support the "green" business partnership between its parent company and Ecological Development LLC by scaling the platform and technology to golf course projects at the local and state government levels.
Ecological provides green retrofitting solutions by using software technology and green products to reduce energy consumption, decrease greenhouse gas emissions and efficiently manage a building's impact on all environmental systems.
The firm's management team includes co-founder and board member George Pataki, former three-term governor of New York. Use of Ecological's assets dovetails with Axion Golf's mission to provide golf courses environmentally sound, cost-competitive and ultra-durable materials for structural building.
"Ecological will introduce Axion and its products to its extensive contact database," says James Kerstein, chief executive officer of Axion. "Approximately 3,500 courses across the country are government-owned or operated and we are confident our golf division can be a major asset and green partner in meeting their building requirements in a cost-effective, eco-friendly manner."
In addition to bridges traversing waterways, wetlands and other challenging topographies, Axion composites are used to create boardwalks, bulkheading, retaining walls and landscaping for framing walkways, cart paths, tee boxes and steps.
