Abstract:  
Recycling works only when there is a demand for product made from recycled materials. That's the substance of GMA Industries' success: The company recovers spent steel shot, grit and aluminum oxide, recycles it into good-as-new media, and markets it successfully. What are the forces that keep this cycle in motion? GMA Industries provides a high level of customer support and quality control that makes the burdensome process of industrial waste disposal easy and profitable for their customers and offers a lower cost, high quality alternative to virgin media. Because GMA Industries is an authorized Michigan Department of Environmental Quality recycling facility, customers have the assurance that they are meeting industrial waste standards for disposal without concerns for future liability.
