As part of Newsweek’s recent feature, “Chemicals - The New Era,” our own Vance Darr, P.E., Director of Health, Safety, Environmental and Security, shares insights into Kuraray’s perspective on cultivating a sustainable future. He dives deeper into our approach and its focus on the 3 P’s: Planet, Product and People, amid evolving challenges.   “Our emphasis on carbon neutrality and the practical application of carbon pricing in project assessments demonstrate Kuraray's proactive stance in balancing economic viability with environmental responsibility,” Darr says.   We’re committed to the continued innovation in sustainable products, such as bio-based polymers, as well as environmental responsibility through initiatives to reduce plastic waste.   Read more: https://lnkd.in/gK8w34wT #ForPeopleAndThePlanet #PossibleStartsHere

Join us at the #SustainabilityHub for networking and solutions sharing during the daily #NPE2024 FiresideChats! Stop by booth SH-7 in the Hub for more about Kuraray's solutions to the sustainability question. https://lnkd.in/gmacH2s9 Session Description: A high performing Thermoplastic Starch Natural Polymer that offers reductions in carbon emissions by incorporating a bio-based oxygen barrier and aroma barrier layer that facilitates the recycling of both polymer and paper-based packaging allowing the layers to completely separate in the recycling stream, and for compostable applications, with certifications as home and industrial compostable, is a unique sustainable packaging barrier option. #Plantic™ also provides an outstanding oil grease resistance replacing PFAS, is a nylon replacement providing outstanding puncture resistance, and the preferred option for PVDC and foil replacement. Recently certified recyclable by WMU as the OGR, aroma and oxygen barrier layer, is revolutionizing the paper packaging industry.
