Reedsburg, WI— Pace Industries Inc receives the Society of Plastic Engineer’s Chairman’s Award for leadership in environmental practices at the annual Global Plastic Environmental Conference (GPEC).
As recognition to corporations and other institutions that exhibit environmental leadership and excellence, the Society of Plastic Engineer’s (SPE) Plastics Environmental Division annually presents ten awards. These ten categories range from new developments in raw materials, technology, finished goods to energy conservation. Pace Industries, who takes a comprehensive approach to environmental products and practices was awarded the all encompassing Chairman’s Award for their extensive environmental commitment.
The premise of the original nomination demonstrated Pace’s focus on the “4R’s” of Reduce,
Reuse, Recycle and Replace (with Replace being a corporate coined addition). These 4 R’s are both a guide and motivation to employees to look within their area of expertise when working with internal and external suppliers and customers.
Company products often take center stage for buyers of Pace products. These extruded materials feature a variety of environmental benefits that allow customers a diverse offering to meet their own unique goals. One particular standout is the certified compostable agri-base material BIOGRAPH.ics® that recently received top three pick by the European Plastic News in the form of the popular Apple iTune gift card. Behind the scenes, efforts in the areas of transportation, processing, and energy usage are significant attributes to the Pace/Primex corporate sustainability program. In addition Pace touts its EPA Green Power Partner status and SGP Patron position to encourage others to support both renewable energy and green print products and technology.
Founded in 1986, Pace Industries Inc. joined the ICC Industries Inc. group of companies in 1997 as a subsidiary of Primex Plastics Corporation. Pace is proud to be a member of an outstanding organization that recognizes and supports excellence in sustainable operations and products.
