Sustainability
Citadel Plastics Holdings, Incorporated (CPH) has invested in technologies that are responsibly mindful of the carbon footprint associated with plastics manufacture.
Many of CPH's molding materials exploit abundant resources (such as talc, clay etc.) to effectively extend hydrocarbon function while enhancing performance in both molding and end use. In addition to prudent formulation techniques, CPH is actively investigating resin oils and additives derived from from renewable sources such as soy bean, corn and palm.
Furthering CPH's environmentally amenable objectives has been the thoroughly researched and carefully qualified use of virgin and post industrial ingredient blends. Both thermoplastics and thermosets can be recycled using various technologies developed by CPH. For the growing list of applications requiring the utilization of recycled materials, CPH has available grades of compounded nylon, polycarbonate, polyesters (thermoplastic and thermoset), polymer alloys and polypropylene that suit an array of requirements. In addition to the potential cost advantages associated with reclamation, many products display little or no loss in mechanical and/or thermal performance (and in specific cases gains) when compared to their virgin counterpart**. These innovative grades of molding material represent the tangible results of Citadel Plastics Holdings, Incorporated's continuous commitment to environmental sustainability.
**CPH is fully aware that reclamation and use of any post industrial/consumer feedstock must always be disclosed to, qualified and fully approved by processors and end users.
