It means making a commitment to go beyond injection molding to work with our customers as partners to enhance their productivity and profitability.

COMMITMENT TO SUSTAINABILITY

We are committed to environmental sustainability.  Reducing our environmental impact isn’t the responsibility of a designated company department or even a cross-functional task force. It exists within each area and is a challenge placed squarely in front of each employee…a true element of CPC’s culture.

Evidence of how thoroughly committed our employees are to that culture lies in the number of ways in which we have reduced our environmental footprint.

  • Energy efficient lighting using 60% less energy.
  • Energy-saving motion sensors for lighting – in both the offices and warehouses
  • Ambient light detectors – adjusting the amount of artificial light used based on the amount of natural light available.
  • Variable frequency drives on presses, which automatically vary the energy usage depending on the process running. Initial energy savings over the replaced conventional methods is averaging 29%
  • Heater bands to insulate, generate and transmit heat more efficiently on injection presses. Early reduction in energy and electrical consumption is averaging 30%.
  • Reducing inline air pressure settings when possible
  • Using purging compound, creating a 25% reduction in start-up resin waste
  • Using over 500 reusable shipping containers

We are committed to social and economic sustainability.  We are award-winning with our community involvement, employee engagement and supporting/promoting education.  Our employees spread the CPC culture outside the walls of our facilities.  We do this with our involvement in over 30 programs within our communities.

  • A dedicated community garden on our Wisconsin facility land planted and managed with a local high school, Harborside Academy.
  • Lakeview Technical Academy annual student tour
  • Our local Fire and Police use our Illinois facility for their annual commercial building rescue training
  • Local team sport sponsorships
  • Charity team and fundraising events
  • Walk for cancer
  • Toys for Tots
  • Local food collection
  • Dragon boat races

SAFETY

At Commercial Plastics, Safety is built on a simple principal; create a culture of safety so each employee goes home each day safe and injury free.  The CPC Safety Program continually strives for the goal of ZERO ACCIDENTS AND INJURIES.  CPC’s strong commitment to a safe workplace goes well beyond stating its compliance with federal, state and local regulations. Safety is very important to us, and we are committed to manufacturing our products in a safe, efficient and environmentally responsible way. Our safety policy outlines the aims and actions we have put in place to ensure our employees, suppliers and visitors are not exposed to harm or hazards.
