We’re celebrating Earth Day with purpose at Intek Plastics and Five Star Plastics!

Sustainability is more than a goal for us, it’s how we operate. From energy-saving upgrades to waste-reduction wins, we’re taking smart steps every day to shrink our footprint and grow our impact. Our partnership with Xcel Energy helps us power up efficiently with LEDs, DC motors, and optimized machines. We track our kWh per pound of product like eco-nerds (and we’re proud of it), keep landfill waste below 3% through our regrind/reuse program, and we’re exploring solar power to make the sun part of the team.

We're also innovating with IntekSmart bioplastics, because what we make should be just as smart as how we make it.

Every day is Earth Day at Intek and Five Star. Let’s keep building a cleaner, greener future.
