How we make it greener Thermo-Lag Series

Raw material acquisition

Carboline is dedicated to improving raw material sustainability efforts. These initiatives include researching alternative methods to acquire raw materials, while being conscience of their environmental impact and opting for suppliers who place emphasis on sustainable manufacturing techniques/renewable energy processes.

Transportation

In an effort to reduce multiple long distance LTL shipments, Carboline has initiated pooling orders from local warehousing sites vs. shipping individual orders from multiple manufacturing and warehousing locations throughout the country.

Manufacturing

Carboline is always exploring solutions to reduce energy usage throughout the production process. Some of these initiatives include –

  • Installing VFD drives to reduce electrical usage for mixing units
  • Upgrading air driers with the intent of generating better air, which could result in using less air in the production process
  • Researching solar installation at Carboline’s Dayton, Nevada manufacturing site
End of life

Carboline fireproofing products provide long-term protection to the structures to which they are applied and were designed to outlive the expected lifespan of a building. Essentially, the only waste generated is at the time of demolition or if any repairs need to be made to the building.
