Sustainability at Tangent®
At Tangent®, sustainability is inseparable from performance. Our mission is to be the preferred partner in High-Performance Synthetic Materials — delivering an exceptional material value proposition while maintaining an unwavering commitment to innovation, customer experience, and sustainability.
Sustainability runs through every stage of our process. Because our materials never need painting, staining, or waterproofing — and never rot, splinter, or peel — they reduce the lifecycle impact of the structures they build, from boardwalks and bridge fendering to playgrounds and outdoor furniture.
Third-party verification is central to this approach. GreenCircle’s certifications independently validate our sustainability claims, giving architects, OEMs, and partners confidence that our materials are exactly what we say they are. The GreenCircle seal accompanies the Tangent® brand as proof that our legacy of sustainable innovation is verified — not just stated. It is one more way we deliver peace of mind: materials engineered to endure, certified to standards you can trust, and made in the USA.
“GreenCircle’s independent certification validates the recycled content [or HDPE] engineered into our certified products — giving us the confidence to make sustainability claims our partners can trust.”
— Chief Executive Officer of Tangent® Materials
