Bio Polyols

Our Bio Polyols are high-quality products synthesized using forestry industry by-products and recycled natural oils that do not compete with the global food chain. The best use for these polyols is the production of rigid polyurethane foams for thermal insulation application as well as flexible foams for various applications.

Our Bio Polyols have high bio-carbon content ranging from 51% to 89% and a wide range of hydroxyl values from 65 to 410, making them ideal candidates for various rigid & flexible foam applications.

Key Features of Cradle-to-Gate:
  • Cradle: Refers to the extraction of raw materials or the beginning of the product’s lifecycle.
  • Gate: Refers to the point when the product leaves the manufacturing facility, ready for delivery.

This model includes:

  1. Raw Material Footprint: Emissions from sourcing and producing raw materials.
  2. Transportation Footprint: Emissions from transporting raw materials to the production site.
  3. Production Footprint: Emissions from manufacturing processes.

Exclusions: Cradle-to-Gate does not include downstream processes like product use, end-of-life disposal, or recycling.

Advantages of Cradle-to-Gate Calculations:
  • Provides a focused view of the manufacturing process’s environmental impact.
  • Aligns well with suppliers and manufacturers who are responsible for the production phase only.
  • Easier to calculate and verify compared to full lifecycle assessments (Cradle-to-Grave or Cradle-to-Cradle).
