Bostik, the Adhesive segment of Arkema, will exhibit its high performance adhesive for cold forming blister in medical packaging for the first time.
Our Sustainable Development Programs
Arkema has actively launched a series of sustainable development programs worldwide, including:
Pragati: the World’s First Sustainable Castor Bean Program
As one of the founding members of Pragati, the world’s first sustainable castor bean program, Arkema and its partners have built capacity, improved yields, and reduced environmental impacts by training farmers, thus helping them to cultivate castor beans effectively and ecologically.
Over 4,500 farmers have been trained, audited, and certified, and 24,000 tons of certified castor seed have been cultivated.
ABC (Advanced Bio-Circular Materials) Solutions
Arkema has launched the 'ABC' (Advanced Bio-Circular Materials) program for the range of castor-oil-derived polyamides to promote high-performance, bio-sourced and recyclable polymers contributing thus to the circular economy.
Global Program for Responsible Innovation: Start-up Connect
As a strategic component of Arkema’s development within an ecosystem of responsible innovation, this program invites start-ups from around the world specializing in advanced materials to join forces with Arkema to establish privileged research collaboration.
It will attract innovators from all over the world linked to Arkema’s innovation platforms and will benefit from the Group’s financial support and technological experience, and jointly bring transformative projects to maturity.
