Worry Free Plastics solutions advance a circular economy, minimize plastic
waste, and remove microplastics at the end of life.
Solutions to reduce and reuse, made with less energy consumption
Solutions to preserve and protect natural resources and human life
WFP's operational facilities proudly participate in Operation Clean Sweep. The overarching goal of Operation Clean Sweep is to ensure that every plastic resin handling operation achieves zero loss of pellet, flake, and powder. This not only protects the environment and saves valuable resources, but also prevents plastics from making their way into our waterways and the ocean.
Worry Free Plastics's' manufacturing processes and the production of the Worry Free Plastic agents are inherently less water-intensive than other manufacturing processes. They are predominantly “dry”—where water usage is primarily confined to essential sanitary applications and process cooling. Despite the modest water requirements of these operations, there is a notable emphasis on closed-loop recycling to minimize consumption. The commitment to sustainable water management extends beyond compliance with regulatory requirements—we proactively seek opportunities to enhance water efficiency and maximize the reuse of wastewater across our facilities.
Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) studies spanning two decades show that plastic is the best choice. Paper bags, even with 100% recycle content, have significantly higher average impacts on the environment than single-use plastic packaging.
Biodiversity is a cornerstone of ecosystem health and plays a fundamental role in sustaining life on Earth. While the vast majority of Worry Free Plastics operational sites are in urban and suburban areas, we recognize the critical importance of biodiversity not only for ecological balance, but also within the context of sustainable business practices. In line with the commitment to conserve biodiversity, we follow a biodiversity risk assessment framework that draws upon data from the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) Biodiversity Risk Filter.
While our goal focuses on waste impacts from our direct operations, Worry Free Plastics expands the scope of our influence because our agents enable the manufacture of polymer-based products that themselves embrace sustainability through bioremediation. Products made with Worry Free Plastics agents added during the manufacturing process complement and extend the effectiveness of the Reduce-Reuse-Recycle programs already in place. Use of our agents, and the products made with them, ensures that those products have safe and timely end-of-life biodegradation, returning them to their most basic natural elements leaving no toxins, micro-plastics, or nano-plastics. In this way, we keep today’s waste from becoming tomorrow’s contamination.
