It’s World Safety Day 2026! On this occasion, we reaffirm our commitment to a shared objective across all our sites: zero accidents. More than an ambition, it is a concrete objective built on the continuous improvement of prevention and the daily commitment of each and every one of us. This year, we are placing particular emphasis on driving, which remains a major risk. Vigilance, visibility, strict compliance with the rules… every behavior counts when it comes to preventing accidents. Laurent Tellier, Senior Vice President of Arkema’s High Performance Polymers and Fluorogases business, shares in this video the importance of leadership in safety, as well as each individual’s personal responsibility.

To celebrate #GlobalRecyclingDay, we're asking the big questions: what do an airplane, a sailboat, and a padel racket can have in common? They are all being transformed by the next generation of recyclable materials! We caught up with our Arkema experts on the floor to talk about giving products a second life and overcoming the biggest barriers to 100% recyclability. Check out the video to see the real-world prototypes paving the way for a more sustainable world. A huge thank you to our experts for sharing their insights: Sarah A., Jerome Pascal, Sophie Holle, Jean-Paul MOULIN, Sarah Gayot, and Frédéric Cavicchi! 👏

We are increasing our Kynar® PVDF production capacity! This marks a new strategic milestone with a 20% expansion of our Kynar® PVDF production capacity at our Changshu site in China. Scheduled for 2028, this ramp-up will support the strong demand for this high-performance material, which has become essential for many applications, including lithium-ion batteries and semiconductor manufacturing. This investment also reflects our confidence in the strong growth in demand for Kynar® PVDF across the Asia-Pacific region. The project is supported by the strength of our global R&D ecosystem, enabling us to deliver increasingly innovative solutions to our customers while ensuring a reliable supply chain. ➡️ Read the full press release: https://lnkd.in/e4K9rr3v

Transitioning to sustainable mobility requires innovative partnerships. We are proud to work alongside FORVIA to co-develop the next generation of Type IV hydrogen tank, unlocking a new level of sustainability for composite cylinders. Using our Elium® thermoplastic resin, we are delivering a high-performance solution that ensures full material valorization at the end of the recycling process. Curious about how we achieve better circularity without compromising on performance compared to traditional epoxy? Watch the video to hear Pierre Escalé and Mathieu CHIRAT explain the future of this exciting collaboration. 👇

Live from JEC World 2026! The race to break the legendary 100 km/h barrier on water is on. But how do you design a windsurf board to achieve this ultimate speed while keeping it 100% recyclable? That’s one of the ambitions behind the Zephir project. We sat down with the people driving the project forward: Marc Amerigo, windsurf legend Antoine Albeau, Quentin Vlamynck, Pierre Gérard. Curious to see how circular composites are shaping the future of competitive sailing? Watch the full video to discover the technology behind the board and get a glimpse into our recycling process!
