The aim is to decrease its emission levels and reduce its consumption of energy, water and non-renewable raw materials. Renewable raw materials With its Rilsan® and Pebax® lines, Arkema leads the market for polyamides derived not from petroleum, but from a natural, renewable raw material: castor oil. In China, Arkema has 3 relevant production sites. Hebei Casda Biomaterials Co., Ltd. - producer of sebacic acid resulting from castor oil Suzhou Hipro Polymers Co., Ltd. - producer of polyamide 10.10 resulting from this sebacic acid Shanghai Arkema Gaoyuan Chemical Co., Ltd. - producer of Rilsan® PA 11 from castor oil Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions A longstanding commitment delivers results Curbing greenhouse gas emissions is a priority for Arkema China. This approach can be illustrated by the installation of off gas treatment equipment such as the thermal oxidizers in Arkema Changshu site. Waste treatment In 2010, Arkema China built a CaCl2 reaction unit in Changshu site. This environmental protection project turns high F content HCl acid generated from the other two production units into solid CaCl2.
