EYES ON
TOMORROW ^®
FOR SUPPLY CHAIN

Altair is constantly reviewing processes and practices of its global supply chain. Be it innovating with employees in its own manufacturing and distribution facilities to find ways of reducing waste and carbon footprint or working with vendors and manufacturing partners to leverage new ways of work that are both better for the planet and their employees and communities.

DISPLAY MATERIALS

Altair is committed to simplifying and eliminating waste, while constantly trying to find ways to improve recycling efforts. We recycle our nylon scrap to manufacture Point of Purchase (P.O.P) displays made of recycled Nylon. This way, all of the waste has a second life and helps to save virgin raw materials. All counter cards, banners and displays are created using FSC® & SFI certified paperand cardboard, additionally, P.O.P materials feature natural inks for printing and recyclable lamination for paper.

LED LIGHTING AND ENERGY

Another way we are reducing energy consumption, is by revising our incandescent lighting to LED lighting in the distribution center and office buildings. To limit energy usage, hardware is turned off at the end of shifts, timers are utilized on heating systems, the boiler, coffee and vending machines.

WASTE

Altair is committed to simplifying and eliminating waste wherever possible – in office spaces, warehouses and in all buildings globally. In our supply chain, we have significantly reduced the number of plastics and cardboards used for packaging included in shipments by utilizing void filler made of 50% recycled plastic, moving toward wooden crates and the elimination of PVC straps and bubble wrap. In the distribution centers, residual waste is separated from paper and plastic.
