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 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 solution for toxic and harmful 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 believe that all people who work in our supply chains should derive a social benefit. Through our Equitable Ag, PEFC-Smallholder profit-sharing program, we share profits with 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.
