As your partner, we enable carbon footprint reduction without sacrificing performance. Together with you, and our industry coalition, we are decisively moving towards a waste-free future.
We constantly strive to reduce our emissions, as well as the amount of water and energy we use during production. Through continuous R&D, we’re aiming to constantly enhance the performance and durability of Dyneema®, resulting in solutions that require less material, without compromising on performance and all while minimizing our environmental impact.
As part of our commitment to use at least 60% bio-based feedstock by 2030, we have developed the world’s first ever bio-based HMPE fiber.
Certified by ISCC, bio-based Dyneema® fiber boasts the same performance, strength and durability as conventional Dyneema® while reducing our reliance on fossil fuel-based resources.
The CirculariTeam®, a new cross-industry coalition, provides a common platform to share knowledge, resources, and technical solutions with the aim to close the loop on the world’s strongest fiber, Dyneema®.
With this new coalition, we aim to create a brighter future within the markets we serve; and, by supporting each other, can further enable the growth & development of circularity that benefits both businesses and society at large.
Whether tackling climate change and resource scarcity or protecting workers and first responders with the latest protective and safety technology – our innovative technology is providing solutions to some of the major challenges facing the world today.
The International Energy Agency reports that worldwide energy demand rose by 2.3% in 2018, with fossil fuels meeting around 70% of this growth. However, there is increasing agreement that we can’t rely on fossil fuels forever. According to the International Renewable Energy Agency, ten years of solid renewable energy capacity growth continued through 2018 – with global additions of 171 GW representing an annual increase of 7.9%.
For emergency services (EMS) workers in the USA, a typical day can include anything from routine callouts to being thrown into situations involving active shooters and mass casualties. With such a variety of threats to face each day, first responders need to be equipped with an appropriate range of armor solutions. Here’s how we’re providing a solution.
Major League Baseball (MLB) teams face unique challenges in protecting their fans. Batters can strike a ball with breathtaking power, sending it through the air at speeds that can exceed 100mph. Meanwhile, fans enjoy all the action at close proximity to the field. While it is exciting to maybe catch a fly ball in the stands, it can also lead to serious injury given the sheer speed of the balls. The risk is much greater than many people realize. Every year, around 1,750 fans are hurt by foul balls at MLB games, which equates to around two injuries every three games.
Global fish consumption is on the increase. Between 20011 and 2016, worldwide consumption rose from 154 million tons to 170,9 million tons, putting pressure on already depleted fishing stocks in many parts of the ocean.
We’re so convinced of the value of doing well by doing good that our strategy is aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) outlined by the United Nations in 2015. We’re contributing to all 17 SDGS, but we strive to deliver on four in particular:
Ballistic armor made with Dyneema® provides maximum protection in a lighter, more comfortable solution.
Dyneema® has transformed the performance of heavy industry by making ropes, lines, slings and synthetic chains much lighter and more durable.
Products made with Dyneema® are transforming comfort and confidence in the protective and lifestyle industries.
Dyneema® enables safer working conditions with comfortable and cost-efficient cut resistant gloves and workwear.
We cannot do this alone. We work with our employees, our customers, and our shareholders. Join us.
