Plastic Suppliers' quality films are marketed under the trademarked and registered names of EarthFirst®, Polyflex®, Freezflex®, Matteflex®, and Labelflex®. These products are recognized as the leading films produced for their intended applications. Plastic Suppliers is especially proud of their newest product called EarthFirst® film, a PLA-based film made from the 100% annually renewable resource, corn.

In 2003, Plastic Suppliers' Polyflex T plant located in Columbus , OH merited ISO 9001:2000 quality certification of its production of cast and tentered biaxially oriented polystyrene film and sheet. The following year our Polyflex B plant, also located in Columbus, OH, became the second Plastic Suppliers location to become ISO 9001:2000 certified. ISO certification is important to Plastic Suppliers as we continue to sell our products in a global marketplace where this achievement is recognized worldwide as the accepted minimum standard of quality. Our most recent achievement is becoming a Merit Site in the Voluntary Protection Program (VPP). The U.S. Department of Labor recognized Plastic Suppliers for sustaining excellence in all areas of our safety and health management system. In addition to these two honorable achievements, Plastic Suppliers has also been awarded the SHARP (Safety and Health Achievement Recognition Program) award for the third time as a result of its dedication and documentation of our entire safety and health programs. The Ohio OSHA SHARP program is a recognition program which provides incentives for Ohio employers to work with their employees to develop and implement effective injury and illness prevention programs. On April 11th, 2005 Plastic Suppliers Polyflex T Division had representatives from OSHA here to present the award of a Merit Site in the Voluntary Protection Program (VPP). The VPP is a recognition program awarded to companies who meet the requirements of the following four elements: Management Leadership & Employee Involvement, Worksite Analysis, Hazard Prevention & Control, and Safety & Health Training. The VPP is a federal program that sets performance-based criteria, invites sites to apply and then assesses applicants according to these criteria. Polyflex T's designation as a Merit Site in the VPP is OSHA's official recognition of the outstanding efforts of employers and employees who have achieved an exemplary occupational safety and health management system. Plastic Suppliers is the second SHARP site nationwide to receive this recognition.
