Understanding the circular economy and reducing/recycling waste is positive for the environment and economic efficiency. Working with our valued suppliers, customers, and each Polydeck team member provides the catalyst for further resource improvement and waste reduction.

Achieving safety excellence requires commitment and focus from all parties. At the center of our safety culture is our “Why”- the desire for everyone to return home to their loved ones, for healthy and fulfilling lives, and the ability to use our gifts and talents for good. For the second year in a row, we achieved world class safety by recording 0 hours lost time due to injury and received South Carolina’s 2020 Safety Award for workplace safety.

Creating a stronger tomorrow
As we lead the way with producing high-quality, long-lasting products through material science technology, our departments have worked together to incorporate more sustainable practices in all departments for increased productivity.
By making these incremental adjustments across all teams, we have improved efficiency along our value streams to meet business and continuous improvement targets. Together, our team have worked together to attain the highest efficiency gains – over 9% - in 5 years.
Through supplier partnerships, evaluating and increasing strategic inventory positions, and utilizing market intelligence from our sales team, we are effective in positioning our operation for growth while serving the needs of our valued customers and partners. This in turn has allowed customers to reduce their on-site inventories and continually benefit from the best lead times in the industry.
Polydeck leverages our position in the industry as the leading provider of screen media by having zero debt. As part of the Freissle Business standards, we believe that this practice is necessary to honor those we do business with and enables us to care for people in a way that honors God.

"Sustainability has become a leading cultural aspect at Polydeck that everyone works together to improve. For example, this past year, we were able to decrease our carbon footprint by having multiple departments go paperless. These small steps we take today set us up to have a significant impact later."
