Sustainability has always been a vital part of our product innovation process at RPM. For decades, our operating companies have led their industries with novel solutions that renew, repair and protect materials using sealants and coatings. Building a better world means continually investing in safer, greener products and processes that benefit our customers, end users and the environment. Some of those investments include:
- Recyclable packaging and materials that minimize waste and give new life to leftover products;
- Sustainable building solutions that encourage building restoration and repair over replacement;
- Energy-conscious manufacturing processes that conserve energy and shrink the carbon footprint of our products;
- Greener chemistries that reduce or eliminate potentially hazardous chemicals and materials of concern;
- Products designed to improve the energy efficiency of structures; and
- Products to extend the life of everything from mailboxes, to patio furniture, to roofs.
