Alcan Packaging Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) Emissions
In the last five years, businesses in the Packaging Group have
invested $27 million in VOC abatement technology. The combination
of this investment with other efforts, such as switching to water-based
inks and lacquers or recovering solvents, has resulted in the Packaging
Group achieving a reduction of more than 50% in the volume of VOC
solvent emissions between 1994 and 2001.
