Achieves Climate Neutrality Goals and Furthers Sustainability Initiatives.
With climate change, landfills, and ocean pollution concerns dominating headlines, consumers are doing their part by purchasing sustainably-made products from companies they feel good about. As a result, brands and retailers are looking to suppliers for sustainable solutions in the development of earth-friendly products.
This heightened awareness led Dimension-Polyant, the world’s leading sailcloth producer and manufacturer of X-Pac® lightweight, durable and 100% waterproof laminates developed for packs and bags, to develop a multi-tiered sustainability initiative. With the goal of minimizing negative impact on the environment Dimension-Polyant’s sustainability program is built around climate-neutrality, sustainably sourced materials, longevity of its products, and recycling methods for its used materials.
Gate-to-Gate 100% Climate-Neutral
Since 2021, Dimension Polyant’s Kempen, Germany and Putnam, CT production facilities have been 100% climate-neutral. Carbon emissions have been recorded within the DIN ISO 50001 framework and significantly reduced through the use of green electricity, green gas and other measures. All remaining emissions are being reduced by our carbon offset program in corporation with ClimatePartner and its Plastic Free Oceans climate protection project.
