鈥淲isconsin鈥檚 economy depends on industry leaders who go above and beyond to use sustainable and environmentally friendly business practices,鈥� said WMC Director of Environmental & Energy Policy Craig Summerfield. 鈥淲MC is proud to recognize these companies who prioritize environmental protection as they grow their businesses and build Wisconsin鈥檚 future.鈥�
PMC is extremely grateful to be recognized amongst so many great Wisconsin-based businesses that have been recognized this year and in years prior. With bans on single-use plastics now being implemented in countries and cities across the globe, PMC is an industry leader in paperboard-forming solutions. Our machines use new technologies to offer high-speed and accurate production of strong and durable consumer products.
A significant trend in the industry is the identification of a replacement for Polyethelene (PE) as the coating used for sealing paperboard products, including paper cups. PMC played a vital role in the identification of Polylactic Acid (PLA) as a replacement solution. PLA is made from renewable resources such as cornstarch, sugar cane, and cassava. PMC is also currently hosting coatings companies and paperboard suppliers that are looking at aqueous-based PE replacement solutions to conduct Research & Development on PMC equipment. We understand that in order to identify a viable solution, all parties in the value chain must participate.
The employees at PMC take pride in the fact their talent and creativity contribute to a healthier environment. Our customers take pride in the fact that our innovative solutions promote and enable their sustainability initiatives through the replacement of harmful plastics with biodegradable, non-toxic paperboard. We hope the Milwaukee community will recognize 星空传媒 for its leadership in environmental sustainability and innovation through its 2022 Wisconsin Business Friend of the Environment Award.
