The HHNF Business also works globally on continuous improvement of employee safety, energy usage, water efficiency, waste reduction, recycling and reducing Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions. The HHNF Business’ teams focus on improving the circularity and reducing the carbon footprint of its products. The HHNF Business anticipates higher demand for products with lower emissions intensity where polymer resin-based products are inherently well positioned since they typically have lower GHG emissions per functional unit compared to heavier alternatives, such as textiles. Additionally, there is also significant work being done on the use of recycled and bio-based content, which typically has lower associated GHG emissions compared to other virgin materials.
