ARMOR Protective Packaging products have been “green” and certainly “sustainable” long before it was the vogue buzz word that it is today. In providing corrosion inhibiting and rust removal products that are safe, clean and easy to use, ARMOR products provide tremendous environmental and economic benefits while protecting public health, welfare and environment over their full commercial life cycle. Given the importance of the sustainability movement, ARMOR has put forth additional resources and focus on both our product line and the way we do business.   Here are some of the ways that ARMOR maintains its environmental and sustainability leadership.

Sustainability and the 7 R’s of Sustainable Corrosion Prevention

By the most popular definition (traced to a 1987 UN conference), sustainability is defined as meeting present needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs.  As applied to corrosion prevention and the shipping and storing of metal products, sustainability means reducing the negative impact on the environment and on people through increased used of renewable materials, reduction in the amount of oils and harmful chemicals used and using less energy in manufacturing and shipping.

Customers large and small are becoming increasingly more aware of their impact on the environment and future generations.  Fueled by Wal-Mart’s “packaging scorecard”, companies are implementing sustainable strategies that impact their supplier’s packaging and corrosion prevention decisions.  In fact, while the primary and initial goals may have been to preserve the environment and future generations, upon close inspection, many of the 7 R’s of sustainability and “greening” are actually costs savings as well.
