Water Policy Statement
Water scarcity and lack of access to clean water are global challenges affecting individuals, community, and industry, and the availability of water is projected to be further impaired by the effects of climate change.
We recognize the essential role of water to our business and are taking action. Water stewardship is an integral part of our efforts to continually reduce the environmental impact of our operations, including the impact that occurs upstream of our facilities.
Corporate Social Responsibility
Mar-Tek has long recognized its responsibilities to its stakeholders, including our associates, customers, suppliers, our community, on local as well as global levels. Since inception in 1987, Mar-Tek has been guided by Company Policies which recognize these responsibilities and adapt to changing and growing social and environmental understanding.
Environmentally Friendly
In early 2012, as part of developing a comprehensive environmental policy, Mar-Tek recognized that an essential facet of this commitment to our environment would be to implement and incorporate sustainable practices by recycling plastic waste. We began to retain and segregate plastic waste generated as a by-product of our custom manufacturing, including polycarbonate, polyester, vinyl, and other plastic films. In addition, we also engage in active recycling of cardboard, inks and metals.
