Crystal supports the concept that sound environmental practices add inherent value to our products. Crystal’s environmental stewardship is reflected in three important ways: our sustainable use of natural resources, our reduction in waste, and reformulating our materials and processes to be among the best and most efficient in the industry. This translates not only into a better company, but a better product and most importantly, a better world.

BETTER COMPANY. BETTER PRODUCT. BETTER WORLD.

Statement of Environmental Ethics
Crystal expects all members to balance the needs of the company with careful, responsible stewardship of the environment. We believe the scope of this stewardship includes–

• human and financial resources
• corporate facilities
• community
• natural environment and natural resources

With an emphasis on personal responsibility, we expect wise and effective use of all resources.

We will have documented policies for making decisions with regard to reducing waste, recycling waste and manufacturing by-products, conserving energy, and using recycled or rapidly-renewable materials in our products and processes.

Natural Resource Stewardship Policy
Crystal strives to understand and utilize recycled and rapidly-renewable materials and suppliers or strategic partners who practice responsible stewardship. We consider this policy to include the effective use of raw materials and finding ways to recycle and or reuse our by-products. We favor the use of recycled-content materials when feasible. We support any and all organized recycling programs and participate as a matter of corporate philosophy (e.g. paper, cardboard, beverage containers, scrap metal, transport packaging, wood fiber, etc.). We will favor the use of products or suppliers that share this philosophy.

Energy Conservation Policy
Crystal strives to understand and reduce the impact of our processes, policies and product on greenhouse gas emissions by reducing energy consumption. Some of the ways we will do this include: installing energy-conserving lighting and motors; evaluating the use of biomass rather than fossil fuels when feasible; adding hybrid vehicles to our fleet, etc.

We understand energy conservation to include our choice of materials, processes, policies and equipment. We expect value-added, responsible use of resources to ensure future sustainability and quality of life.
