Green Manufacturing Initiatives
at Plast-O-Matic Valves, Inc.
- Since 1967 all manufacturing processes produce zero-emissions/zero-effluent.
- Solar power provides 80% of the company's energy usage. In 2007 Plast-O-Matic worked closely with NJ Board of Public Utilities and NJ Clean Energy Program to design a state-of-the-art 231 kw solar panel roof featuring Solar Save roofing membranes. Construction began in 2008 and was completed during 2009.
- Solar power has reduced our carbon footprint by 195 tons of CO2, 1.5 tons of sulfur dioxide, and 3/4 tons of nitrogen oxide per year. Please click here for more information.
- In 2007 the factory was converted to 100% CFL lighting, which use one-third the energy of the previous halogen lighting, and reduces total mercury emissions by 36%.
- Since 1974 Plast-O-Matic has been converting high volume products from machining processes to molding processes. In some cases this cuts raw material waste by as much as 93%.
- Since 1994 machining lubricants are 100% recirculated and recycled.
- PVC and polypropylene machining and molding waste is cleaned and recycled.
- Packaging cartons and materials are recycled and biodegradable.

The universal valve symbol and green leaf represent our 40 year commitment to reuse, recycling and environmentally sustainable initiatives.
