Vycon® and The Environment:
Introduction
With Vycon®, concern for the environment is evident
in every aspect of design and manufacture. As a corporation, J.Josephson
is committed to creating wallcoverings that contribute to sustainability
in every way:
Safeguarding air and water: Vycon
is produced at our state-of-the-art New Jersey plant, where we make
sure we meet and exceed Federal EPA requirements, the Clean Air and
Water Acts, and OSHA regulations as well as the regulatory requirements
of the state of New Jersey.
Eco-efficient manufacturing: Our
printing facility is designed to recycle printing inks via a closed-loop
ink system: All of the inks we use are sent to a still and then recycled.
Energy conservation: Our emission
destruction process not only prevents harmful pollutants from escaping
into the surrounding environment, it also yields energy as a by-product
of the process. This energy reduces natural gas usage, thus significantly
reducing dependence on outside energy supplies.
Earth-friendly products: All Vycon
wallcoverings are as durable as they are decorative. We design them
to be easy and affordable to maintain, with mild soap and water,
for a lifetime of use.
We are dedicated to complying with today’s environmental issues and have eliminated all heavy metals such as lead, mercury, cadmium and chromium from our wallcoverings.
