 Calculation Notes

The figures have been adjusted based on revaluated energy conversion values. This is now reflective of water usage in the following application- The latex and water mixing stage prior to the additive & Pigment mixing phases where the Latex must be kept from separating. In this case a plan 32 clean water fluid would be used to fill the Seal chamber and protect the mechanical seal.

If enough businesses act, together we can slow down or help to prevent Global Warming.

A Summary of Evidence

We estimate that widespread adoption of more climate-friendly policies in industry globally, could have the equivalent impact of taking 630.5 million cars off the roads.

Real World Examples

Just a few examples where we have the know-how to do things differently and help both the environment and the bottom line.
