en.Wedoany.com Reported - ARLANXEO, in collaboration with Covestro, has reduced the Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) of its Baypren product portfolio by switching to ISCC PLUS-certified chlorine supplied by Covestro in the production of chloroprene rubber (CR). Covestro produces this certified chlorine using electricity from renewable sources.

Starting January 2026, ARLANXEO's entire chloroprene rubber production will be based on ISCC PLUS-certified chlorine. This transition will result in an average reduction of the Global Warming Potential (GWP) by approximately 20% compared to 2025 levels, with the exact reduction varying by product type.

Niels van der Aar, Head of Sustainability at ARLANXEO, stated that integrating ISCC PLUS-certified materials into production is a key step in reducing the environmental footprint of chloroprene rubber, underscoring the company's commitment to supporting customers in accessing more sustainable material solutions while enhancing value chain transparency by providing corresponding Product Environmental Footprint data for the entire chloroprene rubber portfolio.

As a key chemical supplier to ARLANXEO, Covestro has played a crucial role in this transition by ensuring the supply of ISCC PLUS-certified chlorine.

The introduction of ISCC PLUS-certified raw materials strengthens ARLANXEO's position as a supplier of more sustainable elastomer solutions, particularly serving industries with climate targets such as automotive, construction, industrial, and adhesive applications. ARLANXEO also offers Baypren Eco grades that combine ISCC PLUS-certified chlorine with ISCC PLUS-certified butadiene, further reducing environmental impact and supporting customers in achieving their sustainability goals while maintaining performance.
