Richmond, IN – Primex Plastics Corporation, a leading name in the plastics manufacturing industry, is proud to announce its recent achievement in obtaining the prestigious ISCC+ (International Sustainability and Carbon Certification) for its commitment to plastic circularity practices.

The ISCC+ certification is a testament to Primex’s unwavering dedication to reducing its carbon footprint and ensuring the sustainability of its operations in a world grappling with environmental challenges. This certification is a recognition of the company’s tireless efforts to align its business model with a more sustainable future.

ISCC+ is a globally recognized certification system that evaluates the entire supply chain, from raw material sourcing to production processes and distribution, ensuring that all elements comply with rigorous sustainability and carbon reduction criteria.

Why is this important?

  1. ISCC certification validates our recycled material claims through an independent 3rd party.  This will prepare our businesses for evolving market and regulatory requirements and provide us with additional product options.
  2. Transparency and Accountability: Primex is committed to transparent reporting and regularly communicates its sustainability efforts to stakeholders, fostering accountability.

How is Primex involved?

Primex has both an ethical and business interest in sustainable supply chain certification and traceability. Sustainable solution demand is increasing from our customers, and closed loop recycling systems are becoming a focus of state and federal agencies as they work to define and regulate those systems.

We are investing heavily in our processes to prepare our business for the future, as well as maintain our position as a good steward for the planet, our customers, and our own families. It is the right thing to do!

“Receiving the ISCC+ certification is a significant milestone for us,” said Mike Cramer, President at Primex. “It not only validates our commitment to sustainability but also reinforces our belief that responsible business practices are vital for the betterment of the planet and future generations. We are proud to be recognized for our dedication to sustainability.”

This certification reinforces Primex’s pledge to remain at the forefront of responsible plastics manufacturing and its commitment to environmental stewardship. With ISCC+ in place, the company is well-positioned to meet the growing demand for sustainable products while reducing its environmental impact.
