A Sustainable Vision

Sustainability is more than a concept at Plastatech^®, it's our culture. Our founder, John R Burt, believed in the idea of recycling manufacturing scrap into new products as a way to reduce environmental impact and improve fiscal responsibility. The same vision drives not only the sustainability of our products, but of our manufacturing processes as well.

Sustainable Operations

Because Plastatech geomembranes are manufactured from our own proprietary calendered PVC films and weft-inserted textiles, we have control over product quality and the manufacturing process. This control allows us to ensure the culture of sustainability is incorporated throughout the process.

Recycling

Plastatech recycles 90% of its waste; including non-manufacturing byproducts like plastic, paper, cardboard and super sacks; by:

• Partnering with local recycling companies
• Regrinding PVC scrap back into the manufacturing process
• Repurposing additional scrap to Oscoda Plastics^® for use in its resilient commercial flooring products, concrete expansion joints and roofing accessories

Contain. Control. Comply.

By forming a flexible, durable barrier, Plastatech geomembranes are highly effective at containing and controlling materials, runoff, chemicals, spills and more. This is especially helpful in mining, wastewater, oil and gas as well as agricultural applications where there is a need to contain a variety of materials. Our durable thermoplastic barriers help reduce installation and maintenance costs and protect the environment while complying with regulations.*
