WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif.,
Aug. 23, 2016 /PRNewswire/
-- PTM Images®, a leading manufacturer of home décor and
furnishings, announces the completion of its new polystyrene
recycling facility in San Luis Rio
Colorado, Mexico. The Styrofoam and plastic material is
collected from our U.S. retail customers, diverting the polystyrene
out of U.S. Landfills and giving the material a new life. PTM
diverts over 50 truckloads of Packaging Material, Coolers, and EPS
Food Service containers from being dumped into U.S. landfills.
PTM Images converts the recycled material into Mouldings used in
the production of Mirrors, Picture Frames and Wall Décor. PTM
on-shored the production of Moulding and integrated this technology
into its 300,000 square foot production facility. PTM shifted its
supply chain from China to
the United States, where the
company can utilize over 80% of U.S.-based raw materials.
"Our customer votes everyday with their wallets. Sustainability
is extremely important to them. There are clearly solutions for
difficult-to-recycle waste streams," said Jonathan Bass, CEO,
PTM Images. "Retailers must provide a solution to reduce their
environmental footprint, and PTM partners with our customers to
find solutions. The Consumer is rewarding companies and retailers
that honestly put our planet first."
PTM is proud of the meaningful progress it has made in the
pursuit of true sustainability by implementing a system in which
waste materials are utilized in a closed-loop program to create new
products. PTM has made strides in reducing the waste it emits
through reducing its consumption of energy, water, minimizing
waste, and creating a healthier and more efficient factory
environment. PTM believes this will ultimately lead to improved
efficiency and a competitive advantage for our customers.
