The PRAGATI Project\u2014a Sustainable Castor Bean Cultivation Program<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Arkema was one of the founding companies of the Pragati project in 2016. This program established the goal of providing Indian farmers with the means necessary to continue sustainable castor bean cultivation, increase their earnings thanks to better agricultural yields, improve their working conditions, and protect the environment through reduced water consumption and better waste management. It has enabled more than 2,700 farmers to be trained in best agricultural practices: more than 3,000 personal protective equipment items (gloves and masks) and 3,000 pesticide storage boxes have been distributed, and 5,400 metric tons of castor beans have been certified as \u201csustainable\u201d by independent agencies. The results were so encouraging that the partners decided to extend the program to 2022!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

In the fall of 2019, Arkema also announced a new regeneration program for high-performance polymers. In partnership with Agiplast, a pioneer in the manufacture and regeneration of technical plastic compounds, the Group has created a new program to recycle high-performance polyamides and PVDF fluoropolymers. This new Virtucycle\u2122 recycling program represents a virtuous cycle that allows customers to partner with Arkema in open-loop and closed-loop initiatives for post-industrial and post-consumer recycling projects for its specialty polymers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
