EPA Honors Biobased Leader With Environmental Champion Award
NEW YORK - The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Region 2 honored Medford Township Public Schools in Medford, NJ, with its highest public recognition on May 13, 2016. Medford’s comprehensive environmental initiatives, which include the use of many biobased products such as BioStripe® traffic paint in addition to benchmark testing of various blacktop sealer starting point formulas made with Reichhold’s BECKOSOL AQ® 510 alkyd latex resin, earned the 2016 Environmental Champion Award.
In April 2015, Medford applied BioStripe in two of its parking lots. A USDA Certified Biobased Product, BioStripe is the first waterborne traffic paint made with soybean oil, a rapidly renewable ingredient, that reduces its petroleum content. It is low VOC and available in standard zone marking colors.
