We believe a major part of sustainability is transparency
That’s why we provide our product’s Epoxy Resin Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) data to our customers. LCA evaluates the environmental impact of a product through its entire life cycle. It begins with the extraction and processing of the raw materials and encompasses manufacturing, distribution, use, recycling, and final disposal. We work with third-party product stewardship practitioners to create LCA models for our products that are based on international standards. Our customers can use these models to help build LCA models for their own end products. We provide our customers with hard data so they understand our products’ epoxy resin life cycle and can quantify the environmental benefits of using Entropy in their own products. We don’t grow plants and turn them into epoxy. The biobased raw materials used to create our epoxy resins and hardeners are sourced as co-products or waste products of other industrially important processes. These materials don’t compete with food sources or displace food-based agriculture. Through this choice of raw materials and the use of green chemistry, we are able to reduce our environmental impact from processing. LCA is a tool to quantify this benefit.
The Impact
Manufacturing one litre of Entropy Resins Epoxy with Super Sap technology in Europe saves over the industry average:
- Energy saved – charging 350 smartphones
- Water saved – 20 servings of water (500ml)
- Pollution saved – driving 5 kilometers in a car
