At Nylatech, we understand the critical importance of sustainability. Unlike single-use plastics (cups, straws, and product packaging), which often draw criticism, our cast nylon parts are designed for durability and multiple uses, significantly reducing the environmental footprint compared to materials like steel or wood in many applications.
As a proud member of the International Association of Plastics Distribution (IAPD) and as IAPD GreenScene Members we strive to limit our impact on the environment in our manufacturing and office facilities. We are committed to continuous improvement in our environmental practices with many member companies primarily manufacturing and distributing “Performance Plastics.”
In addition to the nylon plastics we have at Nylatech, many other plastic polymers are recyclable including:
- Polycarbonate
- Acrylic
- Styrene
- ABS
- Polyolefin
- PETG
- HDPE
- LPE
- PP
Even plastics like PVC, Teflon, Acetyl, and other high performance polymers are recyclable and many plastics recyclers will often pay more for better-sorted scraps.
Cast Nylon materials offers a sustainable and cost-effective solution due to their durability and recyclability. Their use not only minimizes expenses associated with maintenance and replacement, but also reduces lubrication contamination. This is because certain nylon materials can be self-lubricating, lessening or eliminating the need for external lubricants.
