Greenhouse Gases
Issue:
It is believed that the main contributor to global warming is the increase of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, with the largest contributor being carbon dioxide (CO2). Many industrial processes emit CO2 into the environment — the most prominent being the manufacturer of Portland Cement. Portland Cement is used in most major construction, including installation of ceramic tile.
Solution:
The Emerald System is the first installation system to contribute to a long-term solution
to the emission of CO2 resulting from Portland Cement production by offering Carbon Offset Credits.
