and replace the plastic parts. This
smart approach to manufacturing
with plastic is imperative to making
a substantial and long-term impact
on the safe and responsible use of
plastic in modern society.
Working with customers
Distrupol’s dedicated Development
Engineer team have been
supporting manufacturers across
Europe to develop innovative,
effective and results-driven plastic
parts and products for over 50
years. Part of this service has
more prominently become about
developing sustainable solutions.
With extensive knowledge,
industry awareness and a genuine
passion for plastic manufacturing,
our development engineers work
with customers, manufacturers
and OEMs to make their plastic
parts more sustainable. This
may be through maximising the
longevity of a part, reducing the
need for disposal and replacement,
improving the design of a part
to require less material, or
incorporating more materials from
our sustainability portfolio.
Distrupol, a Univar
Solutions company
Univar Solutions’ commitment
to sustainability is embedded
throughout the Distrupol business.
Together, we recognise that
sustainability is more than reducing
our impacts, but instead is an
all-encompassing social, economic
and environmental philosophy.
As a global enterprise, we have a
value driven approach to business
and a conviction that sustainable
business is key to our collective
success.
In 2018, Univar Solutions became
a signatory to the United Nations
Global Compact, emphasising the
ongoing dedication to responsible
business. The UN Global Compact
is a voluntary initiative based on
CEO commitments to implement
universal sustainability principles
and to take steps to support UN
goals.
Sustainability, environmentalfriendliness,
recycling, reducing,
reusing – nothing is effective
if only done by one person, one
business or one entity. Making
plastics part of a sustainable
future is collaborative effort. As
leaders and experts in our industry,
we recognise the responsibility
we have to continue to drive
sustainability efforts and work
with suppliers, customers and
other organisations to support
the safe and responsible use of
plastics in 2020 and beyond.
