MACOMA Environmental Technologies is at the forefront of addressing environmental sustainability through groundbreaking research and development. Committed to combating global warming, MACOMA focuses on creating high solar reflective paints that enhance indoor air quality, mitigate air pollution, and tackle climate change. The company's mission revolves around slowing down global warming by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and promoting human health through the use of economical and eco-friendly products.
A significant component of MACOMA's strategy is its initiative to implement an international program that encourages the installation of cool roofs—high solar reflective coatings on urban buildings designed to reduce the urban heat island effect and lower overall temperatures. This innovative approach aligns with eight United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), emphasizing the company’s dedication to sustainable development.
MACOMA has partnered with Scholas, an organization founded by Pope Francis, to accelerate the implementation of their cool roof technology, especially in low-income urban communities lacking resources. Their joint project, 'Communis Domus,' aims to install reflective coatings on a large scale, positively impacting global climate by increasing albedo—the measure of how much sunlight a surface reflects. This strategy is projected to reduce urban temperatures, lower energy consumption, and improve public health by reducing heat-related illnesses.
The company emphasizes the need for immediate action against climate change, highlighting that light-colored surfaces can significantly reduce the retention of solar energy, thus helping to cool the planet. MACOMA’s innovative solutions are not only environmentally friendly but aim to deliver comfort and energy savings for communities.
By advocating for the purchase of carbon credits linked to their cool roof projects, MACOMA invites individuals, organizations, and governments to join the fight against global warming. These carbon credits support funding for initiatives aimed at increased reflectivity and, consequently, reduced CO2 levels in the atmosphere. Ultimately, MACOMA is dedicated to creating a sustainable future through innovative technologies that contribute to a healthier environment for all.
