The latest edition of the Coatings Care Awards has shown that several companies from the coating industry were able to produce zero waste for landfill if compared to 28% a decade earlier – thus demonstrating their increased effort in providing sustainable and environmentally friendly solutions. The accidents rates are also well below the latest UK Labour Force Survey for manufacturing, with RIDDOR-reported incidents falling compared to 2021, with no fires recorded at any BCF members sites.
