03 Janeiro 2013 - 1:14PM
St. Louis - Jan. 2, 2013
- Spartech Corporation (NYSE: SEH), a leading producer of
plastic sheet, compounds and packaging products, today announced
its Ultros® Renu, Ultros® Renu 90 and Royalite® G50 products
received certification from Scientific Certification Systems (SCS),
a global leader in independent certification and verification of
environmental, sustainability, stewardship, food quality, food
safety and food purity claims.
The three products all received the same
certification, denoting that the respective products conform to
SCS's Recycled Content Standard V4-1, utilizing at least 50 percent
pre-consumer, recycled content. The three products are primarily
used in the building and construction markets. The SCS
certifications allow architects, designers, and other end-users the
opportunity to earn credits toward the U.S. Green Building
Council's LEED Green Building Rating System.
"It is increasingly imperative for manufacturers
of all types to be able to provide visibility to how they achieve
and maintain sustainable product attributes. Going the extra mile
to demonstrate to an independent third party how you achieve
sustainable metrics, such as incorporation of recycled content in
your materials, goes a long way with today's consumers and
specifiers," said John Willham, 3form Chief Technology
Officer. A leading provider of sustainable architecture and
design materials and solutions, 3form uses Ultros Renu in several
of its applications. "Working alongside Spartech and having product
certifications, such as SCS, provides important transparency to
customers so they know that the products they specify and use are
truly sustainable," said Willham.
"Spartech's vision is to become the leading
supplier of sustainable plastic solutions. Because of this, we are
always looking for ways to be more sustainable, to get more out of
products, more out of our raw materials. Using recycled content is
a big part of that effort." said Michael Malin, Commercial
Development Manager at Spartech. "The SCS certification is a
testament to our dedication to sustainability and our customers,
who benefit from our sustainable practices."
Ultros Renu and Ultros Renu 90 are both PETG
products known for their superior clarity and chemical resistance.
They are primarily used in the building and construction markets
and commonly used in point of purchase displays, store fixtures,
atriums, amongst other applications. Royalite G50 is a non-PVC,
non-halogen, flame-rated sheet product for use in wall coverings,
ceiling tiles and a myriad of other architectural applications
where stringent building codes are required.
Both Ultros Renu products and Royalite G50 fall
underneath Spartech's suite of Visual Plastics products. These
products are designed specifically for use in the visual markets of
signage, displays, graphic arts and architectural design. The SCS
certification is based on an annual review. Spartech's current
certifications run through March 31, 2013.
