Sustainability with Dycem®
Sustainability has become a crucial focus for businesses aiming to reduce environmental impact while enhancing efficiency. As a reusable solution, Dycem® supports these goals by helping companies minimize waste and energy consumption.

Why Pursue Sustainability?
Pursuing sustainability is more than just a trend; it offers tangible benefits for businesses. According to the EPA (US Environmental Protection Agency), companies are focusing on sustainability to:
- Increase operational efficiency by reducing costs and waste.
- Attract new customers and gain a competitive edge.
- Protect and enhance brand reputation and public trust.
- Ensure long-term business viability and success.
- Respond to regulatory requirements and opportunities.
By adopting sustainable practices, businesses can secure a stronger future and contribute positively to the environment.
Environmental Impact of Contamination Control Alternatives
Traditional contamination control solutions, such as sticky mats and shoe covers, have significant environmental drawbacks, including:
- Generating large amounts of daily disposable waste.
- Creating secondary waste that often requires incineration.
- Producing CO2 emissions due to the frequent production and transport of consumable orders.
These factors contribute to a larger carbon footprint and environmental harm. Read this whitepaper to learn more about the impact of single-use alternatives on your sustainability efforts.
How can Dycem® Help?
Dycem mats offer a sustainable solution, lasting over 3+ years and requiring daily cleaning rather than disposal. By implementing Dycem, companies can achieve sustainability goals through:
- No daily waste disposal: Reducing landfill contributions.
- No secondary contaminated waste: Eliminating the need for incineration.
- Cleaner environments: Lowering the frequency of cleanings and water usage.
- Reduced emissions: Fewer recurring orders mean less environmental impact from manufacturing and transportation.
Dycem helps you maintain a cleaner, more sustainable operation.
It's in the Numbers
Switching to Dycem mats can drastically reduce the waste produced by your facility.
At a semiconductor fabrication site, a recent analysis showed that using sticky mats would generate over 85,000 balls of 8″ waste annually, enough to fill nearly 75 industrial dumpsters. Over five years, switching to Dycem mats would save more than 370 dumpster loads of plastic waste from landfills.
