FROM CASTOR BEAN TO ADVANCED BIO-MATERIALS
A MORE SUSTAINABLE FEEDSTOCK
Oleris® advanced bio-materials are made from oil pressed from castor beans. Castor is uniquely non-competitive with food in contrast with many other bio-sources. As a founding member of the Pragati Initiative for sustainable castor farming, Arkema empowers farmers and their communities to increase their income while practicing agriculture consistent with efficient utilization of water and land resources, improved waste management, and a high standard of human rights protections. Our commitment to responsible agriculture is realized by our continued contribution to sustinable farming through the Pragati partnership.

Enabling sustainability with Oleris® Advanced Olechemicals
With a best-in-class sustainability profile, Oleris® advanced oleochemicals empower you to meet your responsible sourcing goals and corporate targets. They also enable carbon-neutral innovations that support a greener future..
Move away from fossil-derived raw materials and embrace renewable resources with our 100% bio-based solutions derived from the castor plant. Compared to crude oil which takes millions of years to produce, our renewable feedstock can be grown in a few months.
We are bio-segregated, meaning you get certified bio-based solutions with uncompromised integrity.
Oleris® advanced oleochemicals are Carbon Neutral (ISO 14040). Cradle to gate climate change impact is climate positive with no need for carbon compensation: The biogenic (atmospheric) CO2 absorbed during the growth of the castor bean is more than the cumulative CO2 emission equivalents associated with the entire manufacturing process.
By integrating Oleris® advanced solutions, you can significantly lower your greenhouse gas emissions compared to fossil resources, thus lowering your product carbon footprint, supporting your corporate climate targets and compliance with evolving regulations.
Castor is an inherently low risk feedstock thanks to its unique properties. It is non-competitive with food unlike many other bio-sources. A resilient crop, it grows in marginal soils while also improving soil health. Socially, castor offers farmers a reliable income, and is easy to grow, store, and sell thanks to its long shelf life.
Castor seeds are harvested, crushed into oil and the oil is processed to create Oleris® advanced oleochemicals
The world’s first sustainable castor farming initiative
For several decades Arkema has been a key supporter of castor farming communities in India where most of the world’s castor supply originates from.
As a founding member of the Sustainable Castor Association, Arkema has been driving the Pragati Initiative for sustainable castor farming in India. Arkema empowers farmers and their communities to increase their income while practicing agriculture consistent with efficient utilization of water and land resources, improved waste management and fair labor conditions.
Our vision is to continue driving impact by scaling up from 8,000 to 100,000 farms by 2030.
By sourcing from Oleris® advanced oleochemicals, you align your brand with sustainability leadership, reinforcing trust among customers, investors, and stakeholders.
The use of each kilogram (kg) of Oleris® advanced bio-materials instead of a petrochemical alternative typically represents a CO2 impact savings of more than 2 kilogram (kg) equivalent.
