Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those implied by these forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: the final amount of charges resulting from the North American asset realignment and our ability to realize anticipated savings and operational benefits from the asset realignment; our ability to achieve the strategic and other objectives relating to the acquisition of Spartech Corporation, including any expected synergies; our ability to successfully integrate Spartech and achieve the expected results of the acquisition, including, without limitation, the acquisition being accretive at expected levels and within the expected timeframe; disruptions, uncertainty or volatility in the credit markets that could adversely impact the availability of credit already arranged and the availability and cost of credit in the future; the financial condition of our customers, including the ability of customers (especially those that may be highly leveraged and those with inadequate liquidity) to maintain their credit availability; the speed and extent of an economic recovery, including the recovery of the housing market; our ability to achieve new business gains; the effect on foreign operations of currency fluctuations, tariffs, and other political, economic and regulatory risks; changes in polymer consumption growth rates where we conduct business; changes in global industry capacity or in the rate at which anticipated changes in industry capacity come online; fluctuations in raw material prices, quality and supply and in energy prices and supply; production outages or material costs associated with scheduled or unscheduled maintenance programs; unanticipated developments that could occur with respect to contingencies such as litigation and environmental matters; an inability to achieve or delays in achieving or achievement of less than the anticipated financial benefit from initiatives related to working capital reductions, cost reductions, and employee productivity goals; an inability to raise or sustain prices for products or services; an inability to maintain appropriate relations with unions and employees; the inability to achieve expected results from our acquisition activities; our ability to continue to pay cash dividends; the amount and timing of repurchases of our common shares, if any; and other factors affecting our business beyond our control, including, without limitation, changes in the general economy, changes in interest rates and changes in the rate of inflation.

By implementing various strategies, you can reduce your carbon footprint and potentially mitigate the effects of climate change. 

ZPT proved to be very effective in protecting TPEs, reducing Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli populations by 99.9% or more in JIS Z2801 testing and inhibiting fungal growth (rating = 0) according to the ASTM G21 standard. It can be seen in Table 2 that even at lower loadings (i.e., 1000–1500 ppm) ZPT was quite effective at limiting fungal growth; most experimen- tal groups demonstrated no observable growth (rat- ing = 0), whereas control samples (i.e., ZPT loading = 0 ppm) generally exhibited heavy fungal growth (rating = 4). Although statistical significance could not be determined, a large effect size (d > 1) as described by Cohen's d was observed for all treatment groups relative to their respec- tive controls.

Talc can, however, make scratches more visible in a highly filled compound; submicron talcs, surface-treated talcs, and anti-scratch additives can mitigate this effect. These materials typically have a more favorable life cycle analysis (LCA)—the product’s lifetime effect on the environment—and a smaller carbon footprint than traditional, non-biobased fibers and fillers. It is critical to disperse metallic filler effectively in a compound to avoid backup at the injection mold gate, or opening, which can experience wear when exposed to high levels of metallic filler.
