DESIGNED FOR SUSTAINABILITY
Every device we use has a carbon footprint. SABIC’s bio-based materials are helping manufacturers to reduce it and to meet sustainability targets when they develop and upgrade products.
READ MOREFood & Water
SABIC collaborations help address the growing need for reliable food and water supply. We help farmers to develop targeted nutrients that boost crop yields and we work with experts to create new ways to produce bigger harvests with less water. And our materials help support the water supply in both urban and rural areas.

BUMPER CROPS WHERE THE GROWING GETS TOUGH
Water. In the tough growing conditions of the Middle East, this essential resource is in short supply. For farmers with depleted ground reserves, new methods need to be found to grow more food with less water. It’s too important a challenge to put on hold as the world overcomes COVID-19.

READ MOREEnergy Efficiency
We partner with other innovators to improve the performance of hybrid and electric vehicles (EVs) and solar power systems. Working with automakers, we can reduce the weight of key components by up to 40%, while our collaborations with materials specialists are leading to higher-performance EV batteries. We’re even helping generators to build solar fields on lakes.

MORE POWER FOR WIND ENERGY
In collaboration with renewable energy companies, we’re helping build solar fields on lakes. The panels float on supports made from SABIC materials, so they stay cool and generate energy more efficiently, without overheating or using valuable land resource.
