Do No Harm

ICD’s core values include creating a safe and clean place for employees to work, and developing and manufacturing products that add value to green and sustainable building practices. Our products are low VOC or NO VOC and contain no heavy metals or toxic elements.

Why Clean Chemistry Matters

Continuous improvement for positive impact on people and the planet is a daily practice at ICD. While clean chemistry is necessary for future generations, it’s our passion that drives ongoing improvement. We measure and track projects daily to ensure they achieve their sustainability goals. We are committed to ongoing improvement in how we manufacture and manage products, including on-site delivery.

Here are the top considerations and metrics that we measure and track:

  • Suppliers with Health Product Declaration (HPD) Information and/or Sustainability Practices
  • Distances and methods of incoming materials for resource usage, and their contribution to greenhouse gasses
  • Electrical and water usage for improvement on equipment efficiency
  • Waste and hazardous waste stream disposal methods – waste is properly handled, and recycling is a priority
  • Impact of our products on sustainable areas – Waste, ozone depletion, carbon footprint, and resource scarcity
  • We are dedicated to research and chemistry advancements to remove unsustainable processes or hazardous components
  • REACH and Other global reporting and legislative efforts
