Intertek Offers New White Paper on the "Green" Revolution and what it means for the building and construction industry

Boxborough, MA, March 1, 2010 Intertek, a global leader in testing, inspection and certification, is offering a free white paper, "Green" Revolution: What does it mean to the building products industry? This paper talks about the challenges manufacturers face when making "green" claims about their products and how to eliminate those challenges.

Now more than ever, a manufacturer’s reputation, growth, and success depend on its ability to bring “green” products to market faster and more cost-effectively. Success depends in part on recognizing the critical importance of product testing and certification as an integral part of the overall product development and production process.

Intertek’s new Environmental Certification program helps manufacturers third-party validate environmental claims such as, recycled content, solar reflectance, emissions, and energy efficiency, protect their brand, and gain a competitive advantage in the marketplace.
