Global View Services sets up eco-friendly shop in Ypsilanti

Wastewater isn't something that people want much of anything to do with, but it's the sort of thing that Randall Cobb's business runs on.

The Ypsilanti resident started Global View Services last spring. The start-up sells a clay-based additive that separates suspended particles in wastewater, like oil, soaps, and paint.

"It will cause the waste to precipitate out and clump up so they can be easily removed," Cobb says.

The product is manufactured in Warren and Cobb is the only person selling it for his company, located between downtown and Depot Town. He hopes to add a person or two to his payroll by the end of the year.
