Environmental Sustainability
“Meet the needs of our generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs” has become a popular battle cry over the last few years. But, we have been focused on environmental sustainability long before it became the rage. Not only have we been recycling plastic for decades; our products, our manufacturing, and our technologies all focus on environmental sustainability.
Recycling
We have turned hundreds of millions of pounds of plastic scrap into products that last for decades. Rather than filling up our landfills, we convert recycled plastic into environmentally friendly products. In fact, some of our products have 92% recycled content!
Long Life-Cycle Products
All manufacturing consumes raw materials and energy. But, the amount of consumption varies greatly depending on the product. In addition, producing longer lasting products reduces the number of replacements required over time. At CMI, we maximize both of these opportunities to improve our environment. Our products are designed with optimum efficiency from the start, and are the longest lasting options available today.
Restoring the Environment
The coolest thing about our business is that we get the opportunity to rejuvenate the environment. Whether it's a gas station with leaking underground storage tanks, a landfill leaching contaminants into the ground water, or an industrial Superfund site with hazardous waste; our products help remediate and restore the land for our future.
Closed Loop Manufacturing
Our manufacturing processes are all closed loop systems and don't pollute the air, water, or soil. Our extrusion plants operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, to achieve the highest production possible using the least amount of energy.
Controlling Mother Nature
Regardless of the cause, the fact remains that our climate is ever changing. Water levels are rising around the world and storm intensity is increasing. CMI products are helping to control and manage flood plains, extend and restore levees, and prevent salt water intrusion into marsh lands.
Patented Innovation
We design products to have a high strength to weight ratio. Therefore, we pack the maximum amount of product on every truckload and in every shipping container; reducing transportation fuel consumption and carbon emissions.
