This Good Practice Guide describes simple and practical measures that companies that use organic solvents or solvent-containing materials can take to reduce solvent use and thus save money, reduce VOC emissions and comply cost-effectively with environmental legislation. The Guide describes a wide range of good housekeeping measures applicable to all companies and those specific to companies involved in the manufacture of speciality chemicals, surface cleaning and preparation, surface finishing/coating, printing, the use of adhesives and timber preservation. Industry examples illustrate the benefits of adopting good housekeeping measures for solvents. This Guide updates and replaces GG28 Good housekeeping measures for solvents.
