CCP Composites US strives to continually achieve reductions in energy and non-renewable resource use, pollutant emissions and waste generation. This is coupled with an emphasis on safe operations for the environment, our employees and the community.
Benefits of our actions include:
+ Reduced air emissions and improved air quality
+ Reduced energy use and greenhouse gas emissions
+ Reduced hazardous and non-hazardous waste generation
+ Improved safety
+ Higher quality products
+ Documented goals and performance metrics for continuous improvement

To achieve these benefits for our company, customers and community
we emphasize:
Advanced Integrated Management System (AIMS):
+ Environmental
Three CCP Composites US facilities are ISO 14001: 2004 certified and we are working towards certifying all of our facilities.
+ Energy
CCP Composites US was the first company in the United States to obtain MSE 2000:2008 certification and Superior Energy Performance (SEP) certification in the gold category. The CCP Composites US Houston facility was one of five US Department of Energy partners in a pilot project to test the assessment criteria for industrial sites committed to reducing their energy expenditures. We are working to take what was learned during the pilot project and certification process to integrate energy management at our other facilities.
+ Responsible Care®
AIMS meets the intent of Responsible Care®, the chemical industry's global voluntary initiative to continuously improve health, safety and environmental performance, and communication regarding products and processes.
+ Safety
As an international company, all CCP Composites US facilities operate under the International Safety Rating System (ISRS), a global benchmark for excellence in Safety Management. ISRS meets the intent of United States programs such as OHSAS 18001 and contains best practices in Process Safety Management (PSM), a comprehensive management program that integrates technologies, procedures, and management practices to prevent releases of Highly Hazardous Chemicals as defined by OSHA and EPA.
+ Quality
All CCP Composites US facilities are ISO 9001:2008 certified. CCP Composites US uses this systematic approach to manage our processes and operations to consistently provide quality products that meet the expectations of our customers.

Process Improvements
Examples of recent projects and company initiatives include:
  1. CCP Composites US eliminated all hazardous and non-hazardous waste incineration at two facilities.
  2. The CCP Saukville Facility (now an Arkema facility) installed a new thermal oxidizer, resulting in significant energy savings and reduced emissions and odors. This significant process improvement contributed to CCP winning the Wisconsin Business Friend of the Environment award in 2009. We are exploring the feasibility of this improvement at other facilities.
  3. Two facilities have transitioned their reaction water load-out lines from tanker trucks to the more environmentally friendly alternative of bulk rail transport.
  4. CCP Composites US's Houston facility is subject to flooding and is being redesigned to cut costs and make use of the high water flow.
  5. Current objectives and action plans at our facilities include: eliminating solid waste resulting from non-conforming material, eliminating monomer wastes, reducing VOC emissions, implementing beneficial reuse of waste and reducing energy use.
Current Objectives
The Action Plan for all of CCP Composites US's facilities includes:
+ Eliminating solid waste resulting from non-conforming material
+ Eliminating monomer wastes
+ Reducing VOC emissions
+ Implementing beneficial reuse of waste
+ Reducing energy use
