Colorado Plastics' team includes:

Drew Schwartz
President

Drew, and his wife Anita, bought Colorado Plastic Products in September 2005.  Drew brings over 20 years of senior operating experience to the company, particularly in custom fabrication.  Drew has previously held positions at the University of Pennsylvania, Wall Technology, and Owens-Corning. 

Drew holds an MBA from Georgetown University and has been a Colorado resident since 1994.

Anita Schwartz directs marketing and outreach for the company, in addition to her full-time work at Western Resource Advocates, a Boulder-based nonprofit conservation organization.   

John Butler
Master Fabricator

High quality fabrication is one of our specialties at Colorado Plastic Products, and there is no better man for the job than John Butler.  John is known throughout the region for his outstanding precision, craftsmanship, design ideas, and creativity in plastic.  He is especially respected for his hot-air plastic welding expertise which he uses to make polypropylene tanks for plating and to make corrosion-resistant lab furniture and fixtures.

Zach Hardin
Project Manager

Zach runs our insides sales and customer service area.  If you have a machinable or see-through plastic sheet rod or tube requirement, Zach's your man.

Eric Boyd
Sales

Eric is the newest member of our team and is responsible for following up on your quote requests and coordinating fulfillment of orders.

Josh Cottam
Wharehouse Manager

Josh has been our saw man and warehouse guy for a couple of years now.  He is responsible for cutting your blanks to a typical precision of +/- .020" in length and width.

Hunter

Security and Hospitality and Mouse Detection

Hunter is a 10 year-old Poodle-plus who came to us from the Poodle Preserve in Cotopaxi, CO about five years ago.  He spends his days alternating between his blue bed and his faux-zebra bed in Drew's office.  Hunter recommends a recent article in The Economist magazine entitled Manager's Best Friend.  It explains one researcher's experiments to test his theory; that having dogs in offices might make people collaborate more effectively.

We are a 50% woman and minority-owned business and have been locally owned and operated since 1969. 

Plastic is designed to last for years.  It is primarily made from precious natural resources like oil and natural gas, which means that it is very important for us to make sure that as much of it as possible stays out of our landfills. 

We take our commitment to the environment seriously and act on it to reduce wasted plastic.  Some of the ways in which we demonstrate our dedication to sustainability are by:

• Recycling all of the acrylic, polycarbonate and ABS materials we generate that are too small to sell as remnants
• Placing unused plastic in the very popular “FREE” bin behind our building
• Selling plastic remnants, over the counter, at a discount
• Recycling  of office paper, beverage containers, and pallets 

Colorado Plastic Products is proud to be an Ecocycle Zero Waste Community Partner.

We are also a member of Boulder County's 10 for Change group.
