With its ambitious climate plan, Arkema is committed to reducing its carbon footprint significantly over the next ten years, including through the use of renewable electricity in its plants. We are also developing solutions for our clients to lower transportation weight and improve building insulation. The aim of these measures is to drastically reduce the consumption of CO2 -emitting fossil fuels.
1. REPLACING METAL
Planes and cars are lighter thanks to our Kepstan®, Rilsan® and Elium® thermoplastic materials, and are therefore more fuel efficient.
2. REPLACING GLASS
50% lighter than glass, our PMMA, Altuglas® ShieldUp PMMA can be used in automotive windshields and sunroofs.
3. ADHESIVES AND CAULKS
Bostik insulation products meet the highest environmental standards, for eco-friendly construction solutions
4. HOME INSULATION
Our Forane® blowing agent for insulating foam has a global warming potential (GWP) of almost zero.
