SHANGHAI – PPG Industries recently held “Eco Classroom” open-day events at plants in Tianjin, Zhangjiagang, Wuhu and Kunshan, China. Under the theme of “Better Chemistry, Better Home,” these events engaged more than 200 attendees, including students from local schools and universities, government officials, and residents of neighboring communities.
“PPG is dedicated to communicating its sustainability efforts to neighboring communities and the public at large through a broad range of activities,” said John Richter, PPG Vice President of Operations, Coatings, Asia Pacific. “We can thereby facilitate sustainable development of the chemical industry and of society as a whole. Our open-day events have received positive feedback from the public in recent years, which led us to launch them at new plants each year. This year, PPG’s Kunshan plant joined three other sites with ‘Eco Classroom’ open-day activities that focused on environmental protection.”
