Partnerships and Innovation in Practice Valent continues to foster sustainable innovation through collaboration and partnership. In 2024, we partnered with Halo , an open innovation platform that connects global scientific expertise, and collaborated with The Ohio State University and Cornell University to explore green technologies for the precise control of next-generation pesticides. These projects advance our R&D capabilities, strengthen our sustainability leadership, and support our commitment to helping growers feed a growing population. Sustainable Packaging Innovation. Our Supply Chain team collaborated with a packaging vendor to design and test a more sustainable tote for one of our key products. The new tote incorporates UV protection to maintain product quality while reducing material use. Its introduction is expected to lower CO₂ emissions and packaging costs, advancing our goals for operational efficiency and environmental responsibility. Agricultural Container Stewardship. Valent is a founding member of the Ag Container Recycling Council (ACRC) and continues to support industry-wide stewardship of agricultural packaging. In 2024, ACRC surpassed 257 million pounds of plastic agricultural containers recycled since the program’s inception, equivalent to diverting more than 1.2 million cubic yards of waste from landfills. Through our ongoing partnership, we promote responsible container management, extend the lifecycle of valuable materials, and advance circular solutions that reduce environmental impact across the agriculture industry.
