Implement and facilitate circular economy
To respond to the scarcity of natural resources and the increasing environmental impact of human activities, Arkema develops the circular economy*.
Through a Life Cycle approach and the development of partnerships, we strive to design products and services that minimize waste and pollution, optimize the use of resources and help keep products and materials in the use loop.
Arkema’s approach to the circular economy and responsible resource management contributes to United Nation Sustainable Development Goal 12 “Responsible consumption and production” and covers the entire value chain.
*The circular economy tackles climate change and other global challenges like biodiversity loss, waste, and pollution, by decoupling economic activity from the consumption of finite resources.
Arkema approach to circularity
Materials: maximize use of renewable materials & packaging / Recycled materials & packaging
Transformation process: manage resources on our sites (materials & wastes, water, energy)
Implement, use, end-of-life: maintain products & materials in the use-loop (ecodesign, reduce presence of hazardous substances, development of recycling streams)
