MRC’s Regional Director of Manufacturing Solutions, Walt Hoffert, appears in the LVB.com article by Melinda Rizzo, “Manufacturing Goes Greener.” Walt shares that an increasing number of manufacturing firms in the Lehigh Valley are embracing environmentally sustainable practices, such as reusing raw materials, incorporating recycled materials into manufacturing, and adopting energy-efficient construction methods.
