Eliminating VOCs and CFCs at the AT&T printed-circuit board headquarters

In the early 1980s, the Richmond Works — now known as the AT&T Printed-Circuit Board Headquarters, Richmond, Virginia — began efforts to reduce and/or eliminate environmentally damaging chemicals then in common use in the printed-circuit board industry. As a result, it was one of the first AT&T manufacturing facilities to exceed the company's environmental goals to reduce toxic air emissions and phase out the use of chlorofluorocarbons.
