Versatile, high-quality, durable thermoplastic materials…not single-use plastics

• Acrylic, Polycarbonate and our other thermoplastics are recyclable at qualified recycling centers nationwide
• Thermoplastics can be reground and extruded into new products
• Our product packaging (cardboard, masking films) are also recyclable
• Designed for applications that require a long service-life, such as signage, windows and skylights
• Our plastics contain some recycled content in the form of preconsumer/post-industrial plastics
• Formulated in a responsible manner to meet global product stewardship requirements

How we make our products reflects our overall philosophy of continuous environmental improvement

• Maintaining full compliance of all environmental regulations
• Overall recycling rates for our sites range from 50% - 80%
• Reduce/Reuse/Recycle efforts have seen reductions in waste disposal of over 70% at some sites
• Over the past 20 years, water savings and clean air emission programs have reduced water consumption and air emissions company-wide, with some sites achieving reductions over 75%
• Continue to lower the energy intensity of our manufacturing operations through energy efficient lighting, motors, and innovative, optimized manufacturing processes
• Renewable energy is part of the energy consumed at some of our sites–we continue to explore greater energy diversity
• Pro-active outreach with the neighbors around our manufacturing sites, including regular engagements with all community stakeholders

Our thermoplastics play an important role in advancing human well-being, energy conservation and quality of life

• They enable mass transit vehicles to reduce overall weight to save on fuel
• Our lighting solutions are the premier choice for LED smart-lighting applications with high energy efficiency
• Acrylic and Polycarbonate products are used in sustainable applications such as solar panels, skylights, greenhouses and sound barriers
• Food safety applications including Acrylic sneeze guards, PETG food containers, and Polycarbonate guards for food processing equipment
• As safety/security glazing to protect human health and safety, including Polycarbonate in burglary-resistant and bullet-resistant applications
