Although responsible American manufacturers already are working to develop new technologies to promote energy efficiency, reduce waste and create sustainable production practices, their efforts are being hampered by increasingly aggressive EPA regulations, according to Gardere Wynne Sewell LLP Environmental Practice Group Chair Richard O. Faulk of Houston. "American industry is already under extreme economic pressures. The expansion of existing environmental rules or implementing new over-reaching regulations that add new burdens and restrictions will increase costs, destroy jobs and could severely undermine the ability to compete in the global marketplace," says Faulk, who recently was recognized as part of a team of attorneys working with the National Association of Manufacturers' Manufacturing Law Center on issues impacting manufacturers across the nation. "The EPA needs to have confidence in the responsibility of American industry." For more information, contact Rhonda Reddick at 800-559-4534 or rhonda@androvett.com.
