This Locally-Formed Partnership Helps Two Companies Reduce Waste and Cut Emissions
NORTHAMPTON, MA | ACCESSWIRE | September 30, 2022 | When you enter a building, you probably don''t think much about what it took to build it. But the reality is that buildings comprise around 40 percent of global carbon emissions, much of it embodied in the building materials themselves . But a new hyper-local partnership is looking to move one step closer to increasing the circularity of the buildings and construction industry. Two corporate neighbors come together to reduce environmental impact Earlier this year, the ceiling and wall solutions company Armstrong World Industries and Irving Consumer Products, a household paper products manufacturer, entered into a partnership at their respective Macon, Georgia, facilities to enable both companies to address their local environmental impacts. The partnership represents a synergy between the two companies and came about organically through a former Armstrong employee who later worked at Irving and first floated the idea of using Irving''s waste in Armstrong''s ceiling tiles.
