That’s according to an article in Open Access Government that we’re highlighting in today’s #InsightsForInnovation. Read on to find out how, as the demand for food availability becomes more urgent, the industry is focusing on ensuring food security through sustainable change – from integrated water and resource management, advances in technology and more. It's clear that the agriculture industry is set to undergo some important changes – and at Kuraray, we’re committed to being part of this. Our Kuraray Poval™ Polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH) resin coating not only protects seeds to improve germination and prevent damage, but can also reduce the amount of agrochemicals required, increasing safety for people and the planet.

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.

Exciting news from the #KurarayPoval team! #Kuraray #Sustainability #LCA #Polyvinylalcohol #PVOH #Kuraraypoval

We’re excited to announce that a recent Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) found that the carbon footprint of our Kuraray Poval™ (PVOH) polyvinyl alcohol products has fallen again! Sustainability sits firmly at the heart of our business. That’s why this assessment is crucial in our mission for sustainability and transparency. Carried out using a ‘cradle-to-gate’ approach, it examined all production steps from extracting raw material to arriving at our customers’ factory gates. The outcome of this assessment found that the carbon footprint of our PVOH products made in Frankfurt, Germany not only decreased again for the third year in a row between 2022-23, but it is 30% lower than average. We’re proud of the work we’ve done - but it doesn’t stop there! Our Sustainability Taskforce is continuously working to reduce our environmental impact even further. You can learn more about our efforts in our LCA brochures: https://lnkd.in/e2hAhBqp #Kuraray #Sustainability #LCA #Polyvinylalcohol #PVOH #Kuraraypoval
