Spilled plastics can eventually end up in waterways and the ocean. Materials can be transported to storm drains that lead to rivers and then to the ocean resulting in litter, posing a threat to marine life such as sea birds, turtles, and fish.
OCS helps companies strengthen their sustainability initiatives, contribution to preserving water quality and wildlife, compliance with federal and state regulations, safety/housekeeping programs, employees’ well-being, and operational efficiency.
Act Global has taken the OCS Pledge, meaning we are committed to the goal of preventing pellet, flake, and powder loss into the environment. Our production staff commits to taking daily preventative measures like containing spills, cleaning swiftly and effectively, and disposing of plastic waste appropriately to be recycled.
During the synthetic turf manufacturing process, any residual plastics pellets or flakes that fall on the floor are swept up and stored until being shipped to a recycling facility. With OCS in place, our 210,000 sq. ft. production facility in Calhoun, GA runs as clean and waste-free as possible.
At Act Global, we are committed to preserving and protecting our planet. We share the same goal as OCS to help keep plastic pellets, flakes, and powder out of the environment. These efforts can also help us improve relations with stakeholder groups and community organizations that expect our industry to minimize our environmental footprint. With our OCS pledge and other sustainability initiatives, we are one step closer to achieving a carbon-neutral future and making the world a better place!

How Does a Purchasing Cooperative Work?
The standard process of soliciting bids for a sports field is long, expensive, and not always conclusive of the best vendors available. A cooperative purchase program solves these issues by taking ownership of the public bid process.
By leveraging buyers’ purchasing power across the country, vendors and service providers are extremely competitive with their pricing. Each co-op program also utilizes a set of standards to vet each vendor so that buyers can be confident in the quality of their sports field through a purchase program.
Why Select a Cooperative Purchasing Agreement?
Cooperative purchasing programs streamline the entire process of selecting high-quality vendors like Act Global. Whether you are part of a low-bid state or unsure a traditional bid solicitation will give your student-athletes the best playing surface, choosing an Act Global synthetic turf field through cooperative purchasing may be the right decision for you!
