 Did you know that SCHULTE uses epoxy powder coating on ventilated shelving instead of polyvinyl chloride (PVC)? Epoxy powder coating is more durable and more environmentally responsible than PVC.
PVC cannot be effectively recycled and is harmful to both human health and the environment due to chemicals that are released during its production, use and disposal. To learn more about the harmful properties of PVC, visit the Environmental Protection Agency, Besafenet.com, and Green Peace.
While some of SCHULTE’s competition continues to use PVC, there are many builders that are reducing its use to lower the carbon footprint of the homes that they build. In addition, many retailers are phasing it out completely including Nike, Target, Dell and Apple.
Epoxy powder coating is nearly 100% recyclable and releases no harmful VOCs into the environment. Builders who make the simple switch to SCHULTE receive stronger, environmentally friendly products, as well as more points toward LEED certification.
Make the switch today! It’s a small action with a BIG impact.
