Zeon builds plant-based rubber R&D hub in Yonezawa
Zeon has built a new research facility in Yonezawa to develop biotechnologies for producing butadiene and isoprene from plant-based materials, aiding its 2030 carbon neutrality goals. Part of a Green Innovation Fund Project with Yokohama Rubber, the facility supports Japan’s 2050 net-zero target and advances sustainable raw material production for synthetic rubber.
