BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES:

Marv Goodman, President, has been a successful businessman, entrepreneur, philanthropist and recognized leader in the paint industry. During his 30 plus years in the paint industry, Marv gained experience in all aspects of the business, from the bottom up. Staying ahead of trends, he developed a keen understanding of customer needs in a changing marketplace and guided his company to meet those needs.

Marv Goodman served as president of W. Berman Decorating Marketplace from 1975 until his retirement in 2004. While at W. Berman, he formed a committee bringing industry leaders, government agencies, academia, and the business community together to find creative solutions for the problem of dealing with unwanted and mistinted paints from all sources -- and even with the paint cans themselves. The committee evolved into a not-for-profit National Council on Paint Disposition, Inc. (NCPD), and today, Marv serves as its president. He has helped the NCPD gain national recognition for it innovative and comprehensive approaches to paint recycling and reuse. The mission of the NCPD is to develop, implement and promote a comprehensive, cost-effective and environmentally supportive approach for recycling paints and paint cans from all sources.

Recognizing an opportunity to meet broader business needs and attract new interested players and investment in the effective reuse of paint, Re-Manufacturing Technologies, Inc. was created by Marv as a new sister for-profit enterprise to commercialize and market some of the new technologies created by AMIPP.

Through the years, as philanthropist and volunteer, Marv served as president of the East Brunswick Regional Chamber of Commerce, and as chairman of both the American Cancer Society's New Jersey Division and Middlesex County Unit Boards of Directors. He is recipient of the East Brunswick Chamber Choice Award and the American Cancer Society's Partner in Caring Award. In addition, he was a volunteer for the American Red Cross Katrina Disaster relief effort and continues to be on call during major emergencies.

Marv received his BS and MBA in Marketing from Long Island University. He resides with his wife of 36 years, Harriet, in East Brunswick, New Jersey.

Thomas Nosker, Ph.D., Professor and Principal Research Scientist and Engineer at Rutgers University's Center for Advanced Materials via Immiscible Polymer Processing (AMIPP), works on the relationship between properties and processing for immiscible polymer blend systems. He has developed five separate structural materials technologies utilizing these types of systems. His current interests also include utilizing his Mechanical Engineering background to develop a number of structures which take advantage of the ability to relatively inexpensively mold complex shapes in the materials he has developed, in an effort to lower stresses internal to the materials while increasing the overall load bearing potential for the structures. He has developed several process and materials technologies which have been or are currently being commercialized, including plastic structural lumber, railroad ties, materials and designs for vehicular bridges, PET resin recovery processes, fire retardant coatings, and has a total of 17 patents and patents pending. He was the New Jersey Technology Council Thomas Alva Edison award winner in 2001 in the area of emerging technologies. He has published over 70 papers.

Among his professional accomplishments, Dr. Nosker developed the process for manufacturing plastic lumber from recycled plastic bottles. At RMT, his responsibilities include technology research and the development and training of licensee personnel.

Dr. Nosker holds a Ph.D., from the Department of Mechanics and Materials Science, with a Specialty in Polymer Physics, from Rutgers University, and a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Georgia Institute of Technology.
