Troy Corporation
Commitment to the environment has been a priority at Troy Corporation since its founding in 1980 . Yet , the company has expanded that dedication applying that commitment to every aspect of operation — from process and product manufacturing to employee protocols and source energy .
Troy introduced a “ batch reformulation ” program that established greater efficiency in raw material use and reduced the use of hazardous materials . That efficiency also was applied to material disposal , removing it from the waste stream and coordinating reuse / recycling with its vendors — from empty drums , totes , scrap metal and pallets to glass , plastic , aluminum cans , and cardboard .
Troy also has gone above expectations – proven again in September of 2020 when the EPA was asked to measure the concentrations of ambient volatile organic compounds ( VOCs ) in selected NJ communities . Unlike other facilities , absolutely no VOCs or other
related compounds were detected at Troy ’ s Newark plant .
Now the company has announced that it is exploring a new solar energy program at its corporate headquarters in Florham Park , which could be one of the largest in that region .
ENVIRONMENTAL LEADERSHIP
Cole Schotz P . C .
As an attorney with a master ’ s in environmental law , along with her experience as a Science and Technology Policy Fellow at the National Academy of Sciences , Emily Lamond possesses the understanding and passion to help businesses succeed in the face of environmental challenges .
Currently , Lamond has taken on the challenge of educating the business community about upcoming regulations requiring assessment , and possibly investigation and remediation , of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (“ PFAS ”). As co-founder of the PFAS task force of NAIOP ’ s Regulatory Affairs Committee , she is leading efforts to assemble experts across disciplines and author and disseminate publications to New Jersey commercial real estate professionals . Through this endeavor , business leaders may strategically manage and navigate the evolving scientific and regulatory landscape , including compliance with any future remediation standards , and continue to flourish while mitigating risk associated with PFAS . No small task , but she is up to the challenge .
