Environmental Protection & Sustainability Policy Statement

Purpose

AP Plastics Inc. acknowledges responsibility for the environment. We pledge to conduct our business and promote sustainable practices which create the possibility of an environment protected from adverse impact.

The following policy governs the management of the environmental aspects of our company, with specific focus on the use of recycled and recyclable materials, conservation of resources, and the reduction of waste.

This policy relates to how all operations in our company are continually reviewed and improved, so that we will truly be able to integrate environmental and social considerations into our everyday practices.

The company will consistently encourage participation and train employees in environmental matters related to our business.


Principles

• Comply with any laws governing the environment, and actively look for ways to improve on these guidelines.
  

• Work towards the conservation of energy, water and resources in all our operations, and encourage the same with all businesses that we contact.
  

• Strive to better understand both the direct and indirect impact that our practices may have on the environment.
  

• Source and promote products/materials that minimize the environmental impact of both production and distribution.
  

• Promote environmental awareness throughout the company, our customers and vendors.
  

• Provide training/reference materials to staff on implementing our sustainable policies.
  

• Dispose of waste thoughtfully and responsibly with an attitude of "reducing, recycling and reusing."
  

• Lessen our environmental impact by purchasing environmentally-friendly products and services.
  

• Work with our entire supply chain in order to gain mutual benefits of incorporating environmentally sustainable goals into everyday business.
  

• Ensure that sub-contractors engaged by AP Plastics Inc. will work to the same standards that we expect of ourselves.
  

• Require our suppliers to provide evidence of their environmental standards, for both their practices and materials used.
  

• Regularly review our business practices, and determine whether each practice is suitable in an environmental context.

Have a particular sustainability requirement? A new product that needs a custom, sustainable solution? Let our design & development team assess your needs. Contact us.

We will minimize our carbon footprint:

• Eliminate “bricks and mortar” as much as possible by transforming the traditional “place of work” paradigm, and support all employees not actively engaged in “making” or “shipping” products to “attend work virtually”.
  

• We will participate with our personal, business and governmental community organizations to promote, educate and volunteer support for initiatives that minimize environmental impact.
  
• As an organization we will endeavor not to just travel to “meet” or to “do business”, but will accomplish as much as possible virtually. When we “come together” it will be to celebrate our accomplishments and acknowledge the difference that we make.
