Men in White has been thinking about
reducing waste since 2005. You could say that Men in
White has been *green* since it became the new black!
Futhermore, in the future, being Green is going to be
the new Red, Blue and White (i.e: it will be the patriotic thing to
do!). This is not our idea, it belongs to Tom Friedman:

Men in
White is committed to improving sustainable painting
practices.
We are
currently experimenting with a system of washing brushes and
rollers that uses 50 per cent less water. We treat the
waste water to separate the paint component. This process
allows for clean water to be released into the environment while
the paint waste is collected and disposed of
responsibly.
MIW acknowledges Bill Kruger for his innovation in developing this
method into a commercial application.

materials...it is all about management!
