As part of MS-168, we constantly assess how to improve operations and formulations to minimize waste generation. We manage waste reduction and recycling at the facility level and gather and analyze the data in our data management system. In addition, many RPM MS-168 continuous improvement projects focus on waste management.
We are committed to collaborating with partners to divert waste from landfills. In the U.S., multiple RPM locations work with WM to identify new or expand existing recycling programs. In the UK, our teams are engaged in similar efforts with waste management company Biffa.
Tremco’s Waste Reduction Efforts
In FY25, Tremco’s roof restoration solutions helped customers divert an estimated 82,000 tons of waste from landfills (based on approximately 23 million square feet of roofing). Restoring a roof allows the existing roof assembly to remain in service, thus eliminating landfill waste and reducing the energy necessary in the manufacture and installation of a roof replacement. Roof restorations also provide value to the customer by minimizing disruptions to the facility.
