FRX Polymers receives EPA Award

FRX Polymers, Inc. (FRX), a manufacturer and marketer of Nofia?, a family of environmentally friendly inherently flame retardant plastics, has recently been awarded an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Environmental Merit Award. The company was presented the award during the EPA New England Merit Awards ceremony on 22 April2014 at Faneuil Hall, Boston, MA.

The EPA's New England Environmental Merit Awards programme recognises businesses  who have made outstanding contributions on behalf of the region's public health and natural environment.

In the last few years FRX Polymers has taken several important steps in making its products available globally, including the December 2013 start up of its first commercial scale plant. Nofia ? replaces halogenated flame retardants, which are widely used and are being phased out due to toxicity concerns. Nofia? products have been registered globally and have a very favorable toxicological profile. Also, Nofia? products are produced using sustainable green chemistry principles as FRX’s process is solvent free, creates no waste bi-products and has near 100% atom efficiency.
