Kraton has done extensive research on CO₂ reduction in comparing SYLFAT TOFA to substitutes like soybean oil fatty acid (SOFA).  Consider the following:

• Globally, pine chemicals have a 50% lower carbon footprint than substitutes (Franklin Associates)
• Specifically, SOFA has a Land Use Change (LUC) factor of 11.17 CO2 eq/Kg, vs SYLFAT TOFA with a LUC of 0.691 CO₂ eq/kg (Brands & Values)
• Simply stated, if 1000 metric tonnes of SOFA is replaced with Kraton’s SYLFAT TOFA, it would save the equivalent CO₂ for 19,772 Harley Davidson road trips on US Route 66 from Chicago to Los Angeles! (carbonfootprint.com/calculator.aspx)
