alternatives to traditional materials. Headquartered in Hilliard,
Ohio, we are a multi-billion dollar stormwater management company,

When it storms, we capture rain with our drain basins, convey it
with pipe, store it using chambers and finally treat it with our
water quality products, before safely returning water back to the
environment. We handle, what we call, the entire lifecycle of a
raindrop. Our products help prevent flooding, which increases
quality of life for people living in large cities, suburbs, and
rural towns. We also believe in creating a circular economy and are
the second largest plastic recycling company in North America. We
use plastic shampoo and detergent bottles to create pipe, diverting
over 500 million pounds of plastic from landfills every year. ADS
