Solving Client Problems Through Innovation
Manufacturing is resource-intensive and requires significant quantities of raw materials, water, energy, chemicals, and labor. In addition, most production processes co-manufacture byproducts including solid wastes, wastewater discharges, and air emissions. The Heritage Research & Development (R&D) Team constantly innovates to reduce and control these impacts from manufacturing and improve production efficiency.
