A leading manufacturer and printer of decorated metal and plastic containers, J.L. Clark (www.jlclark.com), Rockford, IL, has earned a Clean Manufacturing Award for its efforts on multiple environmental fronts.

The company installed a regenerative thermal oxidizer (RTO) with a 99%-plus volatile organic compound destruction rate to slash release of VOCs into the atmosphere during the container printing process. J.L. Clark also has reduced naphthalene (a substance under intensified scrutiny by the Environmental Protection Agency) usage in container coatings, and is now using 50% recycled versus virgin solvents.
