Accella continues partnership with American Forests

    ST. LOUIS—Accella Tire Fill Systems, a division of Accella Performance Materials Inc. and a manufacturer of eco-friendly polyurethane tire fill, has planted more than 142,000 new trees in its continued partnership with American Forests, a non-profit organization. Accella teamed up with customers, aftermarket dealers and distributors around the world for the effort to help restore forests destroyed by natural disasters.

    The initiative is part of the company's "One Tote, One Tree" green campaign, through which one tree is planted for every tote of Accella's tire fill product purchase, according to a company statement.

    For 2017, Accella's donation helps American Forests in its work with the U.S. Forest Service to plant more than 40,000 whitebark pines in Shoshone National Forest, part of the Greater Yellowstone ecosystem in Wyoming.

    The restoration of the Shoshone Wind River Ranger District is part of a decade-long reforestation project, countering the blister rust and mountain pine beetles that have decimated the area and led to tree mortality exceeding 80 percent in some places. These conditions increase susceptibility to wildfire, and the Burroughs Creek Fire there in 2013 destroyed more than 1,700 acres.

    Accella has focused on developing eco-friendly flatproofing alternatives for industrial, construction and mining vehicles, along with other off-the-road equipment, according to the statement.

    "As a zero waste, zero emission manufacturer, Accella Tire Fill Systems is dedicated to sustainability as a long-term strategic business focus, and partnering with American Forests is a natural extension of that orientation," Joe Negrey, vice president of Accella Tire Fill Systems, said in a statement.
