Sustainable Innovation in the World of Football

In the dynamic landscape of high-performance sport, the search for innovations that combine exceptional performance and sustainability has become a growing priority. And FCC, with its wide range of products, is present in several important projects for major sports brands. Penalty, a renowned sports brand, has launched a revolutionary soccer ball that not only meets Fifa's strict standards, but also takes sustainability to new heights. In this article, we'll explore how FCC has been contributing to this scenario, collaborating with clients, driving the creation of sustainable products and supporting innovative projects.

‍

The evolution of sustainable products:

It is crucial to point out that sustainable practices can no longer be associated with reduced product quality and/or performance, but can actually improve them. Through a co-creation approach, the FCC makes it possible to develop more sustainable products by combining innovative and ecological materials to create unique solutions for various markets. An example of this is the soccer balls used in some matches in the states of SĂŁo Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, which are made up of 62% sustainable materials, including sugarcane inputs and FCC products.

Customized solutions:

With over 40 years' experience in manufacturing adhesives, FCC has developed technical expertise and become a specialist in the field. Our broad portfolio of adhesives serves various industries, such as footwear, furniture, construction and automotive, among others. We customize products according to the application, offering solvent-based, water-based and hotmelt adhesive formulations.

Sustainable innovation in the field:

In Brazil, we highlight the pioneering use of a ball with an eco-friendly composition in state matches. The S11 Ecoknit, the result of a Penalty development with FCC products, is at the forefront of this revolution, incorporating sustainable materials without compromising the quality standards demanded by regulatory bodies.
