Air Emissions Permit for Automotive Upholstery Manufacturer in Waterloo
Official title: KWC Fabricated Products Inc. - Environmental Compliance Approval (air)
KWC Fabricated Products makes upholstery for car parts at their Waterloo facility. They need a new air permit to cover emissions from their spray booths, heating equipment, and fabric cutting operations. The chemicals released include acetone, hexane, methylene chloride, and benzene.
Why This Matters

What Could Change
