In today’s manufacturing environment, sustainability is more than a trend; it’s a necessity. As a result, forward-thinking operations are increasingly prioritizing environmentally responsible practices that reduce energy consumption, minimize waste, and extend the lifecycle of industrial components. One area that holds significant potential for sustainability improvements is parts cleaning. At ZERUST®, we recognize the importance

Sustainability has become a core expectation across modern industries. As this shift continues, the importance of clear, accurate environmental claims is greater than ever. In the corrosion prevention sector, discussions around biodegradable and compostable packaging are increasing, and with them, the risk of misunderstanding or misapplying scientific terms. Many people call this greenwashing, using environmental

Sustainable VCI Solutions: A Step Toward Reducing Carbon Emissions Reducing carbon emissions is a global priority. Businesses are seeking innovative solutions to minimize their environmental impact. ZERUST®, a division of Northern Technologies International Corporation (NTIC), is leading the way with sustainable Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor (VCI) technologies. These solutions extend the life of metal components, reduce

As industries worldwide strive for sustainable manufacturing and waste reduction, companies are actively seeking circular economy solutions to minimize their environmental footprint. ZERUST®, in partnership with RecycleMax®, is excited to launch ZeCycle—a revolutionary closed-loop recycling program that transforms used ZERUST® VCI packaging into new post-consumer recycled (PCR) VCI films. Beyond Recycling: The Second Life of

Introduction to Aqueous Parts Washing In industrial and automotive maintenance, cleaning parts efficiently while minimizing environmental impact is a critical concern. Aqueous parts washers have emerged as the superior solution, offering effective cleaning with a focus on sustainability. Unlike traditional solvent-based systems, aqueous cleaning relies on water-based detergents, mechanical agitation, and heat to remove contaminants

In a world where environmental consciousness is on the rise, companies are increasingly seeking innovative ways to reduce their carbon footprint and promote sustainability. One such approach that’s gaining traction is post-consumer recycling, and here at ZERUST®, we’re at the forefront of implementing this technology across our Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor (VCI) polymer packaging solutions. Furthermore,
