Sustainability: Practicing What We Preach at Bennett Plastics

September 20, 2024

Let's face it, the plastics industry has taken the brunt of consumer dissatisfaction over environmental concerns, and companies which pay lip service to reducing their impacts while continuing with business as usual, and those operating in regions with less oversight aren't helping matters. The future of the plastics industry clearly depends on consistent, effective changes that support sustainability, and that's just what we do here at Bennett Plastics.

How Bennett Plastics Supports Sustainable Plastics Manufacturing

With our decades of experience in the plastics manufacturing business, we've seen a lot of changes in everything from how plastics are made, what materials are available to make plastic products, and even how consumers view the products we make. Supporting sustainability by adapting what we do and how we do it is a central part of our business.
