Environmental Commitment & Action

Slide understands that the plastics industry has a huge impact on the environment; it’s no secret that our ocean floors and landfills are polluted, with plastic being the #1 culprit. There is also no hiding the fact that plastics are an integral part of modern life and a necessary element of any plan to reduce and reverse negative human effects on the environment. While reducing use whenever possible is a great start, we also realize that plastic is a mainstream synthetic material needed across many vital industries including the medical and automotive segments. At the end of the day, we need plastics, but what we don’t need is plastics waste.

Slide Sticks to It

While individual efforts are important to achieve collective change, we are aware that it is our responsibility as an organization to work sustainability into our design, formulations, and processes. We stick to our core values by dedicating time, research and resources to a variety of efforts with measurable results.

Eco-literacy

We pay close attention to the science and stay engaged, searching for innovative ways we can continue protecting the planet. Our team is active when it comes to adapting – from developing tools that help customers measure their disposals to eliminating compounds that pose potential safety and environmental risks. Slide is always ready and willing to make needed changes.

We gain insight on what is learned and constantly seek to amplify our efforts, offering free samples and evaluations so we can work with our customers first hand to maximize efficiency and reduce unnecessary waste. Slide’s news/blog page is frequently updated with our findings – each month we publish multiple articles, keeping customers informed on our environmental endeavors and expert designed best practices.

One Tree Planted

We are proud of our partnership with One Tree Planted. This non-profit group is dedicated to helping the environment – restoring forests, creating biodiverse habitats and re-establishing damaged ecosystems. With every online order placed directly with Slide, we donate one tree. As we grow, our contribution grows too. Generous customers have matched our donations and hundreds of trees have been planted since January, 2022. In October 2022, combined donations surpassed 1,000 trees, qualifying Slide as a fully vested partner. Through 2023 and into 2024, Slide and our customers continue to make monthly donations to this worthy cause.
