CHICAGO, May 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Richard Purpose Builders, a national purpose-driven general contractor committed to building structures that strengthen communities, advance healthcare, and drive innovation, today announced that John “Conrad” Lynch has joined the organization as Executive Director of Environmental Health & Safety providing company-wide safety leadership across all projects, markets, and teams nationwide.

The appointment reflects Richard’s commitment to building not just with purpose, but with the highest standard of care for every person on every job site. As the company grows in scale and complexity, from federal healthcare facilities to advanced manufacturing and data center construction, the need for a seasoned, forward-thinking safety leader has never been more critical. In Conrad Lynch, Richard has found exactly that.

Lynch brings more than 25 years of health, safety, and environmental leadership to Richard, with a career defined by measurable results and a relentless commitment to protecting people. Over the course of his tenure leading safety programs across multi-phase construction megaprojects exceeding one billion dollars in value, he achieved zero lost-time incidents across multiple major projects, reduced incident rates by an estimated 25% through predictive risk assessment and cut reportable incidents by 20% through OSHA and NFPA-compliant training programs. He has led teams of safety professionals across complex, fast-track environments including mission-critical facilities, high-voltage utility interfaces, and 24/7 construction operations. His record is not one of compliance for its own sake. It is one of building cultures where safety becomes the instinct of every worker on site, not just a requirement.

At Richard, Lynch will lead the development and continuous improvement of the company’s safety program across all construction sites, federal and private, overseeing everything from OSHA and EM 385-1-1 compliance to infection control requirements in healthcare construction environments. He will direct internal audits, risk assessments, incident investigations, and root cause analyses, while developing and delivering training programs for employees, subcontractors, and site visitors. His work will directly shape the culture of safety Richard brings to every project it builds.

“Safety is not a program you implement. It is a culture you build, one decision, one leader, and one job site at a time. John Conrad brings a level of expertise, proven results, and personal commitment to this work that will strengthen every team and every project we touch. His record speaks for itself, but what truly sets him apart is the way he approaches safety as a people discipline first. That is the Richard way, and we are proud to have him leading it.” –Jed Richard, Founder & CEO, Richard Purpose Builders

Lynch reflected on what brought him to Richard and what he sees ahead:

Innovation is the future of EHS, but people determine its success. If we’re not reaching the workforce and driving real behavioral change, even the most advanced solutions fall short. True transformation happens when technology and people move forward together.” –Conrad Lynch, Executive Director of Environmental Health and Safety, Richard Purpose Builders

Lynch holds a Certified Safety Professional designation, a Master of Business Administration from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill’s Kenan-Flagler Business School with a focus on corporate strategy, artificial intelligence, and innovation, and a Bachelor of Science in Occupational Safety and Health. For Lynch, leadership happens in the field. He will be present and on the ground across Richard’s national project portfolio.

New partnership will pilot next-generation processing technology to extract tungsten and critical minerals while reducing environmental impact

SALT LAKE CITY and TOKYO, May 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Milford Mining Company Utah (MMCU) and Furnace Japan Co., Inc. today announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to deploy next-generation, environmentally sustainable processing technology in Utah that accelerates the recovery of tungsten from its mine tailings.

The partnership combines MMCU’s extensive mineral assets in Utah—including high-grade copper resources, historical tungsten deposits and legacy tailings—with Furnace Japan’s proprietary, internationally patented electric resistance furnace (ERF) technology. Together, the companies aim to unlock new value from both primary resources and previously discarded materials while significantly reducing environmental impact.

“The agreement with Furnace Japan highlights Milford Mining Company Utah’s global leadership in pioneering innovation that shows what’s possible when Utah’s resources are paired with world-class technology,” said Utah Governor Spencer Cox. “Milford Mining Company Utah is leading the way in unlocking Utah’s critical mineral potential, creating rural jobs, and driving prosperity across our state.”

Conventional extraction methods rely on acid-intensive processes that generate large volumes of waste and present logistical and environmental challenges. Furnace Japan’s pyrometallurgical ERF technology offers a cleaner alternative—using primarily electrical energy to process both newly mined ore and legacy tailings without large-scale acid consumption. The result is a more efficient system that produces environmentally stable, non-polluting slag that can be repurposed for industrial applications, thereby moving mining closer to a circular, zero-waste model.

Under the MOU, MMCU and Furnace Japan will develop a pilot plant in Milford to recover tungsten and other valuable minerals from historical tailings. Pending successful validation, the partners plan to scale to a commercial operation and expand the technology to support upstream processing of newly mined ore. This approach transforms long-standing environmental liabilities into strategic domestic resources, supporting growing demand driven by electrification, AI infrastructure and national defense.

“Milford Mining Company Utah is committed to sustainable practices that protect our national security and support our thriving economy right here at home,” said MMCU Chairman Roger Barris. “Our collaboration with Furnace Japan has the potential to transform our mining byproducts into highly valuable critical minerals not found anywhere else in the world.”

This unprecedented partnership is uniquely positioned within Utah’s Milford Renewable Energy Corridor to enable access to geothermal and wind energy that will power future operations. By integrating clean energy with advanced processing, the partnership aims to significantly reduce the carbon footprint of mineral recovery and set a new benchmark for sustainable mining in the United States.

This collaboration aligns with the broader U.S.–Japan efforts to secure critical mineral supply chains. By pairing advanced Japanese processing technology with U.S. resource development, infrastructure and workforce, the partnership represents a model for allied industrial cooperation—enhancing both economic resilience and national security.

About Milford Mining Company Utah
Milford Mining Company Utah is a U.S.- based mining company operating in Beaver County, Utah, with significant mining assets and a focus on resource development and expansion of critical mineral recoveary. MMCU represents one of the only domestic copper restarts in the United States in decades, having successfully restarted operations at one of the highest-grade copper mines in the country and ramped production to meet surging American copper demand.

About Furnace Japan Co., Inc.
Furnace Japan is an engineering company specializing in advanced pyrometallurgical technologies, including globally patented electric resistance furnace (ERF) systems integrated with plasma applications. Its proprietary technology enables the treatment of hazardous waste streams while recovering precious and critical minerals, converting residual materials into environmentally safe, non-polluting functional slag. The company’s solutions are designed for support sustainable resource recovery, circular economy initiatives, and advanced environmental protection.

BOSTON, May 6, 2026 /3BL/ – Sappi North America has earned an EcoVadis Platinum rating, becoming the only paper and packaging manufacturer whose North American operations have reached this top-tier distinction six times. The recognition places Sappi among the top 1% of companies assessed by the global business sustainability ratings provider. The 2026 result is notable because EcoVadis tightened its criteria this cycle, raising the threshold for Platinum across the board.

“This recognition belongs to the teams across our mills, supply chain, and offices who treat sustainability as part of the daily work, not a separate program,” said Sean Wallace, VP of Sustainability, Research, and Development at Sappi North America. “It shows up in how we approach safety, energy use, sourcing, and our relationships with suppliers and communities.”

The Platinum rating joins other recent third-party recognition of Sappi’s sustainability work. In March, Sappi North America received the Climate Performance Award from ClimateWork Maine for its Maine operations. At the global level, parent company Sappi Limited also earned a place on the CDP Forests A List for 2025, alongside strong scores in Climate Change (A-) and Water Security (B).

EcoVadis evaluates companies across four themes: Environment, Labor and Human Rights, Ethics, and Sustainable Procurement. Sappi North America’s results are backed by tangible work in each area. About 78% of SNA’s energy comes from renewable and clean sources, contributing to Sappi’s Science Based Targets initiative-approved goal of reducing Scope 1 and 2 emissions 41.5% per ton of product by 2030 against a 2019 baseline. On Sustainable Procurement, 82% of SNA’s eligible spend is now covered by suppliers who have signed compliance with Sappi’s Supplier Code of Conduct.

EcoVadis provides an evidence-based view of a company’s sustainability management system. More than 130,000 companies across 200 industries and 175 countries have been assessed through the platform.
