Owens Corning receives Mexican environment award

OWENS CORNING of Toledo, Ohio, has been awarded a Clean Industry Certification for its operations in Mexico. The Clean Industry Certification is a distinction awarded to participants of a volunteer environmental programme promoted by PROFEPA, Mexico's administrative agency for environmental protection and regulation.

For the award, an audit was performed by a third-party environmental company, which evaluated Owens Corning on its environmental risk, health, soil, sub-soil, solid waste, water and wastewater control and practices.

It is said that only 8% of companies in Mexico participate in PROFEPA’s volunteer programme.
