Advanced Polymer Inc’s Green Coatings Initiative
Advanced Polymer Inc’s Green Coatings Initiative (GCI) is dedicated to providing customers with safer, more environmentally compatible solutions while maintaining the expected performance and cost effectiveness of specialty products. Through innovative development and manufacturing processes API’s GCI aims to:
- Reduce VOCs in formulations.
- Provide customers with superior products that are derived from sustainable resources such as plants and animals.
- Formulate coatings that do not persist or accumulate in the environment and are less toxic to organisms and the ecosystem.
- Create a safer work environment for manufacturers and other personnel related to the production or transportation of the product.
- Establish an on going commitment to our environment and community that we will continually work to improve our products and practices
There is no industry, government or commercial standard for what is Green and what is not Green. Each corporation is left to decide for itself how it will approach the growing concept of Green Products. It is therefore also the responsibility of each individual entity to define and maintain what it believes Green Products are. At Advanced Polymer Inc. we define a Green Product as:
- Containing no hazardous or toxic components.
- Raw materials sourced from plant or animal derived feed stocks.
- Not producing waste materials during its production or use.
- Having no known negative impact on humans, plants or animals.
With these stringent requirements Advanced Polymer, Inc. is setting a standard for Green Products.
