The costs of not going green

摘要

The rigid polyurethane industry has a strong story to tell about its sustainability.These materials are frequently used to insulate buildings,refrigerators and steps along the cold chain.Using polyurethane in these applications is a cost-effective way to insulate and also has lower energy consumption and carbon dioxide production than other materials.But is this sufficient to ensure their continued use,and what can be done to improve the sustainability of other types of polyurethane?This is important,because science and society have been driving change towards sustainability for several years now.
