摘要

With a large focus recently on growing ESG initiatives, there is a large opportunity for companies to demonstrate “environmentally friendliness” and “sustainable supplySupply.” Integrity MiningMining and Industrial (IMI) bases the carbonCarbon signature of its biopolymer-based products on its renewable carbonRenewable carbon index (RCI). RCI readily classifies the origin of carbonCarbon in a molecule, i.e., modern vegetative sources or extracted petroleum derivatives. Specifically, it measures the number of carbonsCarbon derived from renewable sources compared to the total number of carbonsCarbon in the product. IMI has developed a bio-basedBio-based frotherFrothers, TegraFroth that can be used to replace leading synthetics to meet sustainabilitySustainability and environmental regulations.
