Sustainability 10. August 2020

Sustainability. Sometimes less is more.

Since our founding in 1960, sustainability is a natural part of the Chem-Trend philosophy. Throughout our history, we have remained firmly committed to developing technologies that support our customers’ desire for better efficiency and more sustai-nable manufacturing - all while continuously focusing on the sustainability of our own operations.

WE ARE CREDITED WITH THE FOLLOWING:
- The First Water-Based Die Lubricant
- Semi-Permanent Release Agents
- HAPs- and VOC-Free Products

Over the years, Chem-Trend has done some pretty amazing things to improve our own sustainability actions, as well as those of our customers. Our work is two-fold: to minimize our footprint and maximize our handprint.

WHAT IS FOOTPRINT?
Our footprint relates directly to our operations around the globe: our facilities, our offices, the safety of our people, the raw materials we use, the waste we create, and the logistics we leverage to get materials and supplies to and from our facilities to our customers. In essence, our footprint is how our business activity impacts people and the planet.

WHAT IS HANDPRINT?
Our handprint is how our work positively affects our customers’ HSE efforts, how we can improve their efficiency, reduce their waste, and reduce their emissions. Put simply, it’s how we impact the environment through our customers’ activity.
