Birmingham, AL – Creative Polymer Solutions (CPS), a Signet portfolio company and creator of both Accufoam and Rugged Coatings, is proud to announce that it has been named the recipient of the Environmental Leadership Award at the Birmingham Business Journal’s 2025 Manufacturing Awards. The honor recognizes CPS’s ongoing commitment to sustainability, innovation, and environmental stewardship in the manufacturing industry.
Since its founding in 2016, CPS has produced over 171 million pounds of spray foam systems that have helped homeowners, businesses, and builders across the U.S. achieve significant energy savings—cutting greenhouse gas emissions by reducing heating and cooling demands. On average, CPS’s open-cell spray foam provides 15–30% energy savings, while closed-cell systems can reduce energy use by up to 40%.
CPS’s sustainability initiatives extend beyond product performance. The company prioritizes renewable and recycled raw materials, invests heavily in research and development, and is pioneering the use of plant-based alternatives and carbon dioxide-derived feedstocks in chemical manufacturing. These efforts reflect CPS’s dedication to building a low-carbon future and advancing green chemistry across the industry.
“We are honored to receive the Environmental Leadership Award,” said James Hammon, Chief Technology Officer of Creative Polymer Solutions. “This recognition underscores our mission to create high-performance products that not only deliver results but also reduce environmental impact. We are proud to contribute to a more sustainable future through innovation, responsible sourcing, and long-term investment in green solutions.”
The Birmingham Business Journal’s Manufacturing Awards event will be held on October 16 and will celebrate standout companies and leaders shaping Alabama’s manufacturing industry. CPS will be recognized alongside other leading manufacturers for its contributions to innovation, sustainability, and community impact.
