Stonhard is committed to the environment. For over 30 years Stonhard has been an innovator in 100% solids sustainable flooring products.

Since June 2005, Stonhard has prevented 92.7% of all returned material from going into the waste stream through recycling efforts. Stonhard's unique packaging prevents over 4.8 million one gallon pails and quart cans from being dumped into landfills annually. Stonhards manufacturing facility has not discharged process wastewater to the local municipal sewer system for over 10 years.

Stonhard retains an approved Pollution Prevention Plan. This plan is certified by senior officers of the company and outlines the efforts Stonhard has taken to minimize pollution prevention by reducing the use and/or generation of hazardous substances.

Stonhard also maintains a committee of employee volunteers who meet regularly to advocate the companys environmental mission. Stonhards environmental mission is to reinforce the companys commitment to protect the environment through the reduction of energy, consumption, waste and finally reduce the carbon footprint of Stonhard as an enterprise.

Get the lead out

Due to the health hazards associated with lead and chromium compounds, the lead sulfochromate based yellow pigment has been removed from the production process of our Epoplex line striping paints.

Our facilities are green too

Stonhard has eliminated the use of chromic oxide (a chromium compound) as a green pigment in several Stonhard aggregate products, which has made these products environmentally friendly (non-hazardous) and has also eliminated the only source of hazardous waste generation from the Stonhard manufacturing facility.

New product development

Over 90% of new product development and reformulation efforts for the past several years have been geared to water based urethanes or 100% solid epoxy based chemistry. This is in contrast to developing solvent based coating products that contain high amounts of VOC (volatile organic compounds). This effort not only provides safer floor and coating products to both industrial and commercial markets, it has also reduced hazardous waste.
