On September 26, 2024, our team joined the Lee College Career Expo at McNair Campus. Lee College Alums Kyle Tillman (Supervisor of Production) and Audra Smith (Process Technician III) joined Ashley Joyner (Talent Acquisition) to share insights on our company, its culture, and industry challenges. We also offered resume tips, interview advice, and essential skills for students preparing for graduation. It was a fantastic experience connecting with future talent at Lee College! #LeeCollege #CareerAdvice #PossibleStartsHere

We're excited to celebrate this recyclability milestone for Kuraray's 'PE/EVOH barrier with PE-g-MAH' technology. This approval from RecyClass is a big step forward for sustainable packaging solutions, helping us contribute to a circular economy and a greener future. #SustainableSeptember
We're thrilled to share further a recent news of Recyclass: Kuraray’s ‘PE/EVOH barrier with PE-g-MAH’ technology has received recyclability approval by RecyClass! The discovery: RecyClass PO films Technical Committee has conducted research on the technology ‘PE/EVOH barrier with PE-g-MAH’ by Kuraray. Based on their findings, RecyClass concludes that ‘PE/EVOH barrier with PE-g-MAH’ technology by Kuraray as per current market conditions and knowledge, is fully compatible with the existing European industrial recycling processes for PE flexibles. The technology: an LDPE-based film containing EVOH as inner layer and PE-g-MAH tie layers. The EVOH represents 5.7 wt% of the total film weight, with a tie layer: EVOH ratio corresponding to 1.5. The detailed conditions can be found on the Recyclass website. Read the Full Approval Letter Here: https://lnkd.in/dUBuT7tt Together, we're paving the way for a circular economy and reducing the environmental footprint of barrier packaging materials. #RecycleWithEVAL #SustainabilityInAction #CircularEconomy #Recyclass #SustainableSeptember

TPU (also known as thermoplastic polyurethane) is used in products from medical tubes to shoe soles to smartphone cases. But when a TPU needs to be soft, manufacturers often rely on a plasticizer, which isn’t always ideal. Kuraray recently innovated a new MPD sebacate solution – P-XX50 series – that not only achieves the desired softness level, but also contributes to sustainability. The product caught the eye of Rubber World, which featured P-XX50 in its September issue. Hoan Tran, market development manager for our isoprene chemicals and elastomers business unit, recently published this high-level overview of this new innovative product solution. #SustainableMaterials #BioBasedPolymers #TPUTechnology
#Kuraray recently unveiled new bio-based, polyester polyols – P-XX50 series – which can be used in place of a plasticizer to soften thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) thus eliminating potential negative environmental, health or performance effects, due to leach out. Having both unique performance attributes and being bio-based, it offers manufacturers a sustainable solution. I drafted a brief, high-level article to showcase this new innovative product for you. Read it below. #TPUTechnology #SustainableMaterials #BioBasedPolymers
