Animal Derivative Use
Animal derivatives in polymers originate from two main sources: materials compounded into the raw material itself, or external processing aids used by the molder. Following is Value Plastics' position on both sources.
- Value Plastics uses no processing aids whatsoever in manufacturing any of its products.
- Value Plastics makes no claims whatsoever about the material content of any of the plastic resins it manufactures.
- Value Plastics warrants that the material content of any of its parts corresponds only to the resin identified, and that nothing additional has been added to the material.
Following are statements from the resin manufacturers about their use and sources of any animal derivatives used in their materials.
