Respect for the world around us
As environmental stewards for the areas in which we operate, we apply the values of Principle Based Management™ to ensure we’re using our resources efficiently and operating responsibly. These efforts aren't just reflected in our practices, but in what we produce — like long-lasting materials that minimize our footprint and enhance product performance.
N₂O Emissions Abatement
For more than 25 years, we’ve deployed and improved nitrous oxide (N2O) abatement technology at adipic acid (AA) facilities to effectively reduce N2O emissions. Now, we’re licensing that technology to AA producers in China to contribute to the reduction of approximately 30 million tons of CO2 equivalent emissions annually.
Producing ADN more responsibly
Using the latest technology for ADN production, INVISTA has managed to improve product yields and reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas (GhG) emissions with enhanced process stability. In fact, INVISTA’s latest ADN technology results in half the GhG emissions and uses 40% less energy per unit or production (compared to the competing technology).
The Potential of Polypropylene
Polypropylene is a polymer known for its versatility, durability and light weight. This creates environmental advantages compared to some other polymers. But it’s not just what we make – it’s also about how we make it. Our Longview facility – in operations for 40+ years – is a leader in plant utilization and is fully integrated with its propylene feedstock via pipeline. INVISTA partners with customers to continuously create new formulations that leverage the inherent advantages of polypropylene to help improve products and packaging. From reliable operations to customer collaborations on products with virgin and recycled content to investments in bioplastics, INVISTA experiments and innovates to create more value using fewer resources. Now that’s environmental stewardship.
Protecting wildlife habitats
In 2019, INVISTA completed a 15-month project to renovate the 53-acre constructed wetland adjacent to the company’s Victoria, Texas, facility, which has served as an outdoor environmental classroom for more than 75,000 students and educators since 1998. INVISTA has also been recognized for its commitment to environmental stewardship by Tandem Global (formerly Wildlife Habitat Council), with multiple sites earning conservation certification.
