As we continue to focus on developing innovative solutions to address the earth’s energy challenges, Dow Emulsion Polymers business has created LOMAX™ Technology. LOMAX™ Technology uses renewable energy (currently landfill gas) to manufacture our latex carpet backings, which reduces greenhouse gas emissions and assists customers in developing high performance products with sustainable attributes.

The U.S. EPA's Landfill Methane Outreach Program (LMOP) is a voluntary assistance and partnership program that promotes the use of landfill gas as a renewable, green energy source. Landfill gas is the natural by-product of the decomposition of solid waste in landfills and is comprised primarily of carbon dioxide and methane. By preventing emissions of methane (a powerful greenhouse gas) through the development of landfill gas energy projects, LMOP helps businesses, states, energy providers, and communities protect the environment and build a sustainable future.
