Community
Earth Day Buckets
Each year, Encore Plastics works with local elementary schools to sponsor an “Earth Day” poster contest. Winners of the contest have their designs printed on buckets made from recycled plastic. All of the students receive an Earth Day bucket with the winning drawings.
Camp No Worries
Camp No Worries is a summer camp created solely to give children with cancer and their siblings an opportunity to relax, enjoy themselves and forget about their troubles for one week every summer.
It’s a place that allows children facing a diagnosis of cancer to just be kids. It’s a place of happiness, friendship and new adventures. It’s a place of camaraderie and acceptance, where everyone knows first-hand what it’s like to live with cancer. And, it’s a true summer camp experience in every sense of the word.
Expanding Health Program
Encore Plastics is on the path to help it’s employees maintain active and healthy lifestyles. We have implemented a wellness program that encourages insured individuals to do an annual health screening to identify areas of concern. The program also offers cost incentives to make it financially beneficial to take tangible steps toward addressing those concerns, resulting in healthier employees at Encore.
Improving Employee Safety
Encore is committed to keeping employees safe at work and at home. By maintaining a safe and healthy work environment, we minimize time lost and reduce medical costs for everyone.
Wind Turbine
Encore is excited to announce that our new 50 KW windmill is up and running. We now generate our own clean, efficient, renewable and sustainable power at our Sandusky office. For more information on wind turbines visit www.surenergy.us.
EcoSmart
EcoSmart is having a positive impact on the environment by implementing an environmentally friendly approach to manufacturing. By using recycled plastic in the manufacturing process, EcoSmart products are effectively turning plastic back into consumer product.
Back to Earth
Back to Earth paint trays and liners are made from biodegradable plastic. It is the first landfill biodegradable plastic they are derived from PET based resin and a proprietary additive which promotes biodegradation. Microbial biodegrarion begins immediately when placed in landfill. They have infinite shelf life in a warehouse environment, store shelves, trucks and containers. Visit www.backtoearth.biz.
