What does it mean that Crypton’s manufacturing facility is green?
Greening a facility is a long-term endeavor: 01. Some manufacturing practices, such as recycling tubes and fabric scraps,were implemented quickly. Crypton’s manufacturing scrap is recycled into shoddy, an underlayment for carpeting. 02. Purchasing renewable energy credits is an important attribute of sustainability, and it is also relatively easy to do. Crypton will purchase such credits for each yard of Crypton Green produced. 03. Outdoor air quality and plant emissions were addressed by the installation of an air scrubber when the plant was first made operational. 04. The most meaningful changes have been capital-intensive and costly, but these investments have the dual benefit of environmental responsibility and reducing manufacturing costs. The purchase of our roll packaging machine has reduced our plastic consumption. » Most significantly, we have purchased machinery that can apply our chemistry without the use of water. These machines incorporate leapfrog,not evolutionary, techno
