customer base. We view it as an investment in our collective future. It’s also what increasingly
well-informed consumers are demanding.

It’s not easy being green, but it is worth it.
Our efforts are increasingly focused on informing our customers on the variety of biodegradable alternatives
we supply and support. We are ready to help you integrate them into your processes and products with
minimum disruption. It’s part of our commitment to work towards a better world and a safer workplace,
for employees, Principals and customers.
Not a passing trend, but a wise business decision.
Biodegradable products reduce or eliminate the environmental impacts of manufacturing and end-usage, both
of which are now as important as function, performance and total cost to manufacturers and final consumers.
Announcing our Biodegradable Products Listing.
With our offering of green products growing quickly, we realized it was time to develop a Biodegradable
Products Listing. Its purpose is to help our customers make informed choices for their formulations. We
encourage you to explore these products as a positive step towards an eco-friendly industry and a more
sustainable future.
