microplastic-free seed coatings offer a chance to improve sustainability in agriculture

Croda and the UN SDGs

The sustainable development goals set out by the United Nations to shape sustainable development play a key part in formulating our own sustainability strategy. Croda’s agricultural businesses - Incotec and Crop Protection - collectively use smart science to maximise land productivity, by increasing yield and resilience, whilst protecting soil health and biodiversity.

We worked with independent partners to validate the importance and relevance of the SDGs for our footprint. As part of Croda, Incotec is committed to developing sustainable seed solutions.

Mission Zero

Incotec has set its course for the coming years: to make our company substantially more sustainable.

Seed applied biologicals and additives

A promising innovation in plant protection is the use of fungi and bacteria incorporated into the coating. We are currently working on techniques for the safe application of these living organisms to seed in a coating.

Organic seed solutions

To meet constantly changing demands, we innovate continuously. Not only for conventional farming but also for farmers who choose to grow crops organically.

Microplastic-free products

Incotec is developing a full range of microplastic-free seed coatings, helping customers get ahead of a major regulatory impact.
