PAP132: Creating Sustainability in the Collision Repair Industry

This week’s key takeaway: Creating sustainability in the collision repair industry - with Kirsten Dodd

 

Episode intro: Our environmental impact is becoming more important by the day. Business owners are increasingly aware of their responsibility, and so too are the customers. That’s why we spoke to Kirsten Dodd (BASF’s Product Launch Manager) about the brand-new products that are using rigorous European standards to help body shops reduce their footprint.

 

Imagine if you could reduce your run time in spray booths and your usage of drying equipment? Not only would you be helping the environment, you would also improve your own efficiency and profitability. And how good would it be to validate this with impartial and transparent figures? Kirsten gives us the lowdown on how you can do all of the above.
