Others are just starting or unsure how to even begin. Many company owners and executives understand adopting sustainable practices at their facilities can not only make them better stewards of the environment and better neighbors, but also improves efficiency and saves money. However, between the time it takes to keep up with product demand, sales, safety and maintenance, often no time is left for the creation of a sustainability strategy. The process can be as simple as delegating the task to the right person.

EUROPEAN COATINGS From paper towels to cups to plastic bottles, products made from recycled materials permeate our lives. One notable exception is building materials.
