Scientific Collaborations

Food abundance and quality, as well as nutrients in food are critical for human nutrition. ICL collaborates with farmers in the fields, testing, learning together and disseminating knowledge. Working together with farmers, governmental organizations, academia and scientists is necessary to improve agricultural methods and to create abundant, nutritious food. 2.1 By 2030, end hunger and ensure access by all people, in particular the poor and people in vulnerable situations, including infants, to safe, nutritious and sufficient food all year round.[...]

Agricultural Research

Increasing food abundance and quality is a critical need, as is increasing efficiency in the agriculture sector. In its role as a major producer of fertilizers, ICL develops and disseminates knowledge regarding plant nutrition and proper fertilizing methods to farmers worldwide, helping to meet the challenges of the world’s growing population, decreasing arable land and the urgent need for greater environmental stewardship. Center for Plant Nutrition In 2015, ICL established a Center for Fertilization and Plant Nutrition (CFPN). The CFPN[...]

PolyStyrene Loop: Retrieving Bromine

Launching of the PolyStyreneLoop Project: Circular Economy in Action ICL is one of the initiators of the PolyStyrene Loop (PSL) recycling project. This project contributes to the promotion of a ‘circular economy’ by introducing a recycling scheme for Polystyrene (PS) foams containing the flame retardant HBCD (Hexabromocyclododecane). Polystyrene foams have long been used as building insulation and as packaging material. They are known for their outstanding insulation and shock absorbing abilities. They are well tried and tested for use in[...]
