SAYVILLE, N.Y. - Sept. 30, 2024 - PRLog -- The Sustainable Green Printing Partnership (SGP) is excited to announce that Primex Plastics Corporation (Primex), an industry-recognized leader in the production of quality extruded plastic sheet and roll products, has opted to increase its commitment to SGP from Gold to Platinum Patron. This significant renewal, and Primex's status as one of SGP's first supporters, underscores the company's longstanding dedication to sustainable practices and environmental stewardship.

"We couldn't be happier to grow our relationship with Primex as they take on the role of Platinum Patron," said Theresa Vanna, SGP Board Chair. "They have been trailblazers and unwavering supporters of SGP since our inception and have progressed from Silver Patrons to Gold, and now Platinum. Primex's dedication to ensuring a more sustainable future is a lead that we should all follow."

"We were incredibly excited by the opportunity to become Platinum Patrons," said Blake Pace, Chairman of the Primex Plastics Sustainability Team. "Primex was the first supplier to recognize the importance and value of SGP's mission, which has only grown over the years. We are thrilled to be expanding our commitment and helping to build a better future through sustainable manufacturing/processing practices."
