Treated Wood Surcharge

Koppers Company, Inc., has announced an environmental surcharge will be added to its treated wood products to help recover some of the costs of complying with increasingly stringent federal and state environmental regulations.

Koppers said the environmental surcharge is the fairest means of recovering those imposed costs. Effective with products or treating services delivered on or after January l, 1986, the environmental surcharge of 100 per cu. ft. will result in a price increase of approxim ately 2 to 7slo , depending on whether Koppers supplies the pressure-treated product or only the treating service.

Robert K. Wagner, vice president, Tieated Wood Products Division, said, "The cost of compliance with the environmental laws is a necessary cost of doing business and the imposition of a.surcharge enables us as a manufacturer to recover a portion of these costs. We trust our customers will understand that in order to comply with today's environmental regulations, a manufacturer or processor must necessarily incur additional costs not previously a part of our cost structure."

Environmental programs in cooperation with regulatory agencies are maintained at the company's l7 wood treating plants, with no interruption to wood treating operations. "Koppers' ability to serve its market for treated wood and enhance its competitive position are objectives that go hand-inhand with environmental compliance," Wagner said.

Environmental programs at Koppers facilities include wastewater treatment plants, safe removal and disposition of process sludges and plant wastes and clean-up of soils throughout plant areas.
