GFX’s sustainability focus results in reduced air emissions

GFX’s operations team is focused on a greener and sustainable future for its manufacturing facility. Over the past 24 months GFX has made continuous improvements to reduce chemical usage and chemical VOM content in its Grayslake facility. GFX has successfully eliminated all HAP (hazardous air pollutants) content from all chemicals, as well as reduced its overall VOM emissions by 15% in 2009. The reduction is due to procedural changes that reduce the overall amount of chemical used in the manufacturing process as well as reformulation of certain chemical products to make them more environmentally friendly.
