Prix Potier 2014
Saint-Gobain ISOVER Green Binder Technologies was honoured by the 2014 Pierre Potier* Award in March 2015. 

*The Pierre Potier Award is an Innovation Award honouring breakthroughs in chemistry that yield valuable new products or processes. It recognises companies investing in sustainable development.
The prize was awarded to Boris Jaffrennou, Polymers & Binders Group Leader at Saint-Gobain Recherche (SGR).
The R&D project on bio-based binders started in 2006 in CRIR and SGR. The first generation of binder was formulated using two main renewable raw materials: a sugar produced from wheat or corn starch and citric acid derived from sugar fermentation. Renewable resources account for 85% of the final binder formulation. The new generation of glass wool products, Sustainable Insulation (SI), was launched by the North American Insulation (CertainTeed) division in 2010, and the latest Green Binder products are on the market in North America, Asia, and Europe. All of these technologies are patented by Saint-Gobain ISOVER.
