Sustainability is in our DNA
Sustainability is in the DNA of Ultra-Poly. The first line Ultra-Poly installed was at a producer of LDPE film in 1974 to allow that producer to avoid land-filling the scrap from their process, reduce the amount of virgin resin consumed, and lower their total raw material costs. It might not have been thought of as sustainability at the time as the term was not yet in vogue, but that operation embodied all of the attributes that are considered core tenets of sustainability.
Fast forward to today and Ultra-Poly’s commitment and expertise in improving the sustainability of the plastics industry is evident throughout our business model;
virgin materials and yield high quality finished products that meet tight specifications.
