EAST
BRUNSWICK, N.J. — A new venture, formed by a special licensing agreement signed
with Rutgers University, has been launched to commercialize and market a green
technology being developed by Rutgers’ Center for Advanced Materials via
Immiscible Polymer Processing (AMIPP). The technology uses waste latex paint
and recycled plastics as raw materials to:
- create new
blended polymers used in manufacturing,
- increase the
volume of available plastics to meet demand and
- reduce
the burden of leftover paint dumped in landfills.
The new green company, Re-Manufacturing Technologies, Inc. (RMT), is a spin-off
of the National Council on Paint Disposition, Inc. (NCPD), a New Jersey-based
national environmental organization, founded in 2002, with the mission to
develop and implement a comprehensive approach to reducing the cost and
environmental impact of waste paint products.
Re-Manufacturing Technologies will market Rutgers’ new technology as an
environmentally preferred solution for dealing with this country’s costly
waste latex paint problem, as well as the increasing demand for plastics,
according to NCPD President Marv Goodman, who also serves as president of
RMT.
