Sustainability milestone through completion of life cycle analyses
Huber Advanced Materials — a producer of halogen-free fire-retardant additives, specialty aluminas and organic matting agents — has achieved a major milestone in its sustainability journey.
The company has completed cradle to gate
life cycle analyses (LCAs) for more than 90 percent of its entire product portfolio, including its aluminum hydroxides, calcined aluminas, activated aluminas and Vertex® magnesium hydroxides. As a transparent and collaborative global supplier, Huber Advanced Materials will share LCA data with customers on request, to support customers' sustainability efforts.
The company is making continuous investments to further reduce its environmental footprint. Examples of sustainability projects include an investment into a modern natural-gas-fired cogeneration plant at its Martinswerk site in Germany, scheduled for start-up early 2025, and a solar array at its Marblehead site in Illinois.
Huber's commitment to sustainability is reflected in its 2023 Ecovadis silver rating, its World Business Council for Sustainable Development membership, its Climate Risk Assessment completion, its industry average Carbon Disclosure Project score and being recognized as a 2023 US Best Managed Company Gold Standard honoree by Deloitte.
