As a supplier, we promote the concept of Eco-Design or ‘designing for the environment’. We are here to help our customers choose the most responsible materials available, and we do that by prioritizing transparency. We are happy to provide a Transparency Portfolio for every material ordered through PolyCore. This includes supply chain mapping, chemical testing (PFAS and VOCS), material impacts, and environmental certification verification (Bluesign, GRS).

Our specialty is our water-based coatings, but when you source materials through us we ensure that every ingredient is as low-impact as possible. We provide 100% post-consumer recycled materials, and we encourage sustainable technologies such as C0 DWR and solution dying.

A partnership with PolyCore is a partnership that includes the environment. We believe that the best way to tackle environmental issues is as a team, and we are always open to new collaborations.
