SUSTAINABILITY
When you partner with Elevate Solutions Group, you immediately have access to a team whose manufacturing practices are designed to be respectful, innovative, and thoughtful regarding the latest in plastic sustainability initiatives. Our passion for building quality products extends beyond traditional molding. Let us share how PCR (post-consumer resins) are being used, how blowing agents can lower product weight, and how we are enhancing biodegradability of plastics in landfills.
RECYCLING
Recycling is in our DNA. Many of our plastic products are made with 100% Recycled materials. Where feasible, Elevate Solutions Group regrinds materials to support the manufacturing of new products.
LANDFILL
Using our proprietary 100% organic additive, Elevate Solution Group has established a method for enhanced biodegradation. Third party testing using ASTM D5511 standards shows a linear path to accelerated decomposition when the treated product is discarded in an active landfill.

WASTE REDUCTION
Elevate Solutions Group is a multi-year recipient of the Pratt Environmental Impact Award, using 100% recycled corrugated for all of its shipping and packaging needs. Employees also recycle consistently using clearly marked containers throughout the facility.
CIRCULAR ECONOMY
Elevate Solutions Group partners with likeminded entities to become better stewards for our planet. In some cases, we literally produce new items from old products. Used plastic cutlery and yogurt cups are cleaned and ground into pellets suitable for injection molding. This small effort is just one way we can help to support our circular economy.
In addition to all of the above, we help to engineer products for lower part weight, reducing carbon emissions at transport. Where possible, we minimize packaging to reduce material use, while balancing the need to protect product.
Our continuous improvement efforts are enhanced by our customer partnerships where we share ideas and knowledge to work together toward more responsible manufacturing practices and higher sustainability scores.
