Press release submitted on behalf of Chase Plastics.
Chase Plastics, Clarkston, Michigan, a leading North American distributor of specialty, engineering and commodity thermoplastics, proudly announces the launch of its Sustainable Product Line Card, showcasing its commitment to environmental stewardship and meeting the evolving needs of their customers. The announcement comes ahead of the highly anticipated 2024 NPE trade show in Orlando, Florida, where Chase Plastics will highlight its sustainable product offerings within their exhibit.
The newly released Sustainable Product Line card features a comprehensive array of circular solutions from various global and domestic suppliers on the cutting edge of sustainable plastics. It includes Chase Plastics’ own CP PRYME® ECO thermoplastic resins. In August 2023, Chase Plastics announced the expansion of its CP PRYME® product line to include CP PRYME® ECO thermoplastic resins. “We are thrilled to introduce our Sustainable Product Line Card, reflecting our dedication to sustainability and innovation. In partnership with various domestic and global suppliers, we offer a diverse range of thermoplastic offerings crafted with recycled content or bio-based materials,” said Chase Plastics’ President Adam Paulson. “We hope to serve as a consolidated resource to provide environmentally friendly solutions to applications across numerous markets, supporting our customers’ growing desire to drive sustainability initiatives.”
Sustainable business practices are nothing new to Chase Plastics. In addition to product development, Chase Plastics is further elevating its service offerings to support sustainability initiatives. Paulson elaborated, “We have taken significant strides towards sustainability, including the creation of a dedicated Sustainability Specialist role within our team. This individual will spearhead our sustainability efforts, including carbon footprint reduction, and pursue the prestigious ISCC+ certification to meet the escalating demands for sustainable materials throughout the supply chain.”
For years, Chase Plastics has implemented in-house recycling programs, used recycled materials, and reduced energy consumption in their facilities with resource-efficient lighting, water, and HVAC solutions. They have also applied source reduction initiatives, such as a paperless work environment and fleet management software, to reduce their environmental impact and leave a smaller carbon footprint. In 2016, Chase Plastics began the implementation of Operation Clean Sweep®, a program of best management practices to reduce accidental pellet, flake, and powder loss in their South Bend warehouse facility. In 2021, they joined Operation Clean Sweep® Blue to enhance their commitment to managing, measuring, and reporting unrecovered plastic releases into the environment. To date, they have had zero reported incidents.
