This provides excellent opportunity to utilize energy from renewable resources such as the sun. All companies in Cortec Corporation are environmentally responsible including CorteCros. Cortec Corporation utilizes sustainable resources in product development and its operations wherever possible. This CorteCros’s green transition to carbon neutral plant and adjustment to our own energy resources is of huge importance for Cortec as environmentally conscious manufacturer.
