Growth and responsibility towards people and the environment are fundamental principles of all Kuraray employees’ actions worldwide.

We are actively promoting the growth and marketing of low-CFP PVB interlayers to help reduce carbon dioxide emissions, which is a significant driver of climate change.
But our long-term vision for our Advanced Interlayer Solutions Division includes a commitment to sustainability that extends far beyond just responsible production practices.
By optimizing our production processes and minimizing our scope 1 (direct) emissions, coupled to more rigorous energy management and control of our scope 2 (indirect) emissions, we are already well established on our sustainability journey.
These capabilities will have a wide-ranging positive effect on all our processes and products going forwards.
Learn how Kuraray Europe GmbH tackles the sustainable transformation
A life cycle assessment is a method of quantifying a product’s environmental impact based on an array of materials, products, processes or activities – from raw-material extraction to the product’s final disposal.
Since our PVBs are used in numerous applications, a cradle-to-gate (raw material extraction to the factory gate) analysis was performed. This includes all production steps, from the production of raw materials and chemical precursors to energy production and consumption, transport and processing.
Global Warming Potential (GWP) measures the total greenhouse gas emissions associated with the production processes, expressed in CO₂ equivalents, and represents the product’s contribution to climate change during its lifecycle up to the factory gate.
Interlayer CO₂ Classification
We’ve created tables that give users an easy reference to compare the relative global warming potential (GWP) of our materials.

R3 – AIS initiatives
We are a leader in this field and have made significant strides by introducing more sustainable packaging initiatives that positively impact the value chain.
