From factory odor lawsuits to new constraints on U.S. manufacturing: compliance, equipment, and local carrying capacity are reshaping factory operations

Sherwin-Williams’ suburban Philadelphia plant has become embroiled in litigation over odor and emissions issues. On the surface, it is an environmental dispute, but in essence it reflects how the expansion of U.S. manufacturing has entered an era of “compliance constraints”: missing equipment, insufficient investment in pollution control, and declining tolerance from local communities are all becoming key variables in a factory’s ability to keep operating.
