The volume of EPA compliance initiatives and regulatory paperwork grows every year, increasing costs and hassles for manufacturers. To shrink this burden, manufacturers are turning to coil coated metal like never before, outsourcing these headaches.

Eliminating your paint department removes layers of filing requirements and permits associated with vapor degreasers, paint booths, and washers, creating several cost advantages and numerous environmental benefits, including:

• Reduced waste handling costs
• Eased burden of record keeping, reports and permits
• Curbed water usage
• Decreased energy use
• Lower maintenance costs

For years, coil coaters have worked to reduce waste and emissions with the latest technology and ongoing field research. Since coil coating uses state-of-the-art coil lines to apply coatings to metal with high speed and minimal waste, plus concentrates metal painting to a limited number of sites (where EPA approved water and air pollution equipment are in place), coil coating is clearly the most efficient process known for applying finishes to metals.

What’s more, the NCCA’s Environmental Stewardship Committee continues to research and implement new ideas to build on the coated coil industry’s impressive list of environmental benefits.

No matter what color you paint your products, we’re striving to make them green.
