Sustainability

PureTech Scientific is committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions through the production of an environmentally friendly and biodegradable portfolio of glycolic acid solutions.

The journey to sustainable glycolic acid production is driven by the growing consumer demand for sustainable, nature-identical, active ingredients.

The Sustainability Journey

While the journey to sustainable glycolic acid is a long-term endeavor, we have already begun the first step in this process. The Belle WV site is fully subscribed with the Appalachian Renewable Energy program and is slated to receive the first renewable energy credits (RECs) in 2024 with full RECs available by end of 2025.
