Where the Rubber Meets the Road
SigmaBond Closes the Loop
Paving the Way Forward
While product innovation is at the core of our sustainability initiatives, we know it must not stop there. At Polyco, that means truly supporting our workforce and the communities we serve to drive change. Our journey from black to green leads to a future where people and the planet thrive together.
1
Building Sustainable Infrastructure
What we put into our infrastructure determines what we will get out of it. That's why it's critical to enhance the performance of recycled materials. More recycled materials in roads and roofs will lower our carbon footprint and dependence on non-renewable materials for the health of our planet.
2
Reducing Life Cycle Costs
Sustainability extends beyond the environmental benefits. We must view infrastructure holistically in order to maximize public and private investment. This includes analyzing materials, processes and performance to ensure we extend the life cycle of products.
3
Creating Resilient Communities
People deserve to live, work and play in communities that keep them safe. By advocating for well-built and well-maintained infrastructure, we are actively contributing to the well-being of society.
4
Cultivating a Nurtured Workforce
Investing in the development of our workforce is key to innovation — for our company and our industry. We must continuously foster a pipeline of solutions-driven professionals who are committed to making our world a better place.
