Polypropylene Making A Difference in the Gulf Oil Spill
Did you know mechanical recovery of oil by oil sorbents is one of the most important countermeasures in marine oil-spill response? Polypropylene is the ideal material for marine oil-spill recovery due to its low density, low water uptake and excellent physical and chemical resistance. If you are currently or plan to support the Gulf clean up, give us a call to discuss how we can quickly and economically help equip you to get the job done.

Recycling Tip on Mailing Lists
Darren Kincaid - Tuesday, June 22, 2010
If
you’re interested in living a more eco-friendly lifestyle like we are
at Atlantic Poly, here’s something you can do that will help protect the
environment and preserve your sanity... reduce the amount of junk mail
you receive by 90 percent.
Get Off the Lists - You can also go to OptOutPreScreen.com, which can enable you to remove your name from lists that mortgage, credit card and insurance companies use to mail you offers and solicitations. It’s a centralized website run by the four major credit bureaus in the United States: Equifax, Experian, Innovis and TransUnion.
Most businesses check with one or more of these companies before accepting your credit card or granting you credit for a long-term purchase. They are also a huge source of names and addresses for credit card, mortgage and insurance companies that routinely send junk mail to attract new customers and solicit new business. But there’s a way to fight back. The federal Fair Credit Reporting Act requires credit bureaus to delete your name from their rented lists if you make the request.

Anti
static poly tubing is an economical way to package or enclose objects
of same width but various lengths. Poly tubing can be heat sealed or
taped at either one or both ends. Surface resistivity of 1012
ohms/sq.in. Amine-free, PAS tubing is designed for applications in
which Faraday Cage Protection is NOT required. Anti static material
effectively eliminates the hazard of electro-static damage to sensitive
electronic components during packaging, storing, handling, and shipping.
