As a member of the USGBC, Linetec supports green building finishing through ongoing research and environmentally friendly business practices. Linetec is fully compliant with environmental regulations.  You can verify Linetec’s or any other company’s environmental compliance records by browsing the US Environmental Protection Agency  (EPA’s ECHO) website, at www.epa.gov/echo.

Powder Coating is an environmentally friendly finishing option, because almost no volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) are emitted during the curing process.

Liquid Paint Beyond being compliant, Linetec captures and destroys the Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) present in solvent-borne paints.  100% of the solvents are captured from our painting operations, and destroyed with our $2 million “oxidizer”, which burns the VOC’s at 1500 degree heat, converting them to harmless water vapor.  In doing so, our liquid-paints are just as VOC-free to the environment as powder or waterborne paints.

At Linetec’s Anodize operations, aluminum wastewater from the anodizing process is not emitted directly to the environment or to municipal sewers.   Instead, this liquid waste is run through specialized equipment that converts the waste to “alum”, which is in turn needed by and distributed to paper mills, water treatment facilities, and other businesses.
