Impact on the Environment

As a global manufacturer of pressure-sensitive films and adhesives, we recognize the potential impact on the environment from our manufacturing processes and our products. It’s our policy to minimize environmentally adverse operations by striking a balance between environmental factors and our manufacturing processes. In addition to our many sustainable manufacturing initiatives, this is evidenced by the numerous memberships in which we are actively involved which include: SGP, APR, CELAB, SPC and the TLMI sustainability council.
