At Yulex, we have a must-do ethos about solving challenging environmental problems, especially the harmful effects synthetic materials have on people and the planet. We focus on the responsible development of raw materials (plant and biobased) processes to create better and safer products.
Yulex was founded on the principle of producing responsible, sustainable, renewable plant-based products from natural rubber. Our mission is to do our part by providing a renewable, deforestation-free, traceable, replacement for neoprene, and other oil-based, non-renewable, unsustainable products.
We measure our impact, and respond to the data to make sure all our products perform at a high level, while minimizing environmental impact. We are forward looking and have been compliant with the EU deforestation-free products regulation.
We believe that all people who work in our supply chains should derive a social benefit. Through our Equitable Ag, smallholder profit-sharing program, we share profits with the our natural rubber supply chain including importantly, the smallholders.
You should never need to choose between performance and planet. We are dedicated to providing our clients with the ability to develop high performing products with less to the environment and people.
