The world‘s leading trade fair Building, Energy, Air-conditioning Technology, Renewable Energies NEWSLINE Masland Contract to Eliminate GHG Emissions MOBILE, ALA. — Masland Contract has chosen to use LOMAX Technology from The Dow Chemical Company in the manufacturing of its latex carpet backing systems. Currently, this technology involves the usage of landfill gas (methane) as a renewable energy source. In using this alternative energy source, Dow has been able to replace more than 90 percent of its fossil fuel demand, which results in a significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. “In our ever-changing industry, Masland Contract realizes that to retain our position as a leader, we must be both innovative in product, and accountable in manufacturing and materials selection. This is achieved in a number of ways — namely the development of revolutionary products, but also, equally as important, is the alignment with third-party suppliers that are on the same aggressive track of developing and implementing new, sustainable ways of conducting business,” remarks Don Dolan, executive vice president of Masland Contract. Dow is the primary supplier of latex used as part of the backing for all Masland Contract broadloom products. For more information, visit www.maslandcontract.com.
