Reduce
At every step of our process and for every product we develop, Primex works to implement practices to reduce waste, excess material, and energy use.
Our robust schedule of energy audits, commitment to shipment coordination and backhauls, and detailed employee education programs, build sustainability throughout our business.
Reuse
We reward business lines, facilities, and employees for creative reuse ideas.
We’ve implemented unique programs that reuse packaging, recaptured manufacturing by-products, and reduced the impact of process heating and cooling.
Recycle
At Primex, we divert more than 200 million+ pounds of plastic every year from the waste stream to reclamation programs.
Our own plastic recycling facilities not only support our internal efforts, but also provide recycling services to many of our customers.
Replace
Our innovation center constantly looks for sustainable, efficient alternatives to petroleum-based materials. We accomplish this through collaboration with our vendors and new product development.
