In Texas, Kraton Corporation, a producer of specialty polymers and high-value biobased products derived from pine wood pulping co-products, announced its sponsorship of The Road Forward, an initiative of the National Asphalt Pavement Association (NAPA) to achieve net zero carbon emission asphalt pavements by 2050.
NAPA President and CEO Audrey Copeland, said: “Kraton’s support of The Road Forward propels our collective vision for sustainable communities and commerce connected by net zero carbon asphalt pavements. This demonstrates the positive impact that additive suppliers can have in their communities and beyond.”
Kraton said its polymers are designed to improve asphalt performance and supply reliability, leading to longer lasting and more efficient use of materials for road construction. Pavements constructed with Kraton solutions have a lower carbon footprint due to extended pavement life and minimal maintenance, the firm said.
