“Newark is proud to be participating at Greenbuild for the first time this year,” said Frank Papa, CEO and president of Newark.

“As the only company of its kind among a thousand exhibitors, our foundation was created on developing high quality sustainable products.

“With more than a century of commitment to our environment, we are excited to offer the construction industry new environmentally-sound solutions.”

At Greenbuild, Newark showcased the company’s growing line of construction products created from 100% recycled paperboard, including Newark NewForm WireHolder support for concrete construction that lifts the mesh, cable or wire off the ground to keep the mesh supported above the membrane before and during concrete pouring.

There was the Newark NewForm PoliGloss concrete forming tubes that leave a smooth gloss finish without spiral seam markings during concrete pouring. The tubes are available in the widest range of sizes in the industry.

The new Newark NewForm with DuPon Zemdrain liner concrete forming tubes that offer considerably increase surface hardness and abrasion resistance in finished concrete columns. The liner improves drying and curing time through the DuPont Zemdrain liner wicking properties at the surface of the concrete. –

Finally there was the Newark Centurion DetecProtec floor protection covers that protects garage floors and work surfaces, leaving floors stain-free. The covering can absorb up to one gallon of oil, water, grease, antifreeze and other liquids. If used under an engine, spilled fluids are easy to spot on the covering’s white surface. –

“Our experience working with recycled paperboard helps us to continually develop innovative offerings for the construction industry.

“Newark’s products help environmentally-conscious builders reach sustainable building codes easier without compromising their quality of work,” said Michael Meuli, business development manager.

Newark Recycled Paperboard Solutions is an integrated manufacturer of 100% recycled paperboard and the production of paperboard products in the US and Canada.
