From Soybean Fields to Airport Seating

Posted by Jessica, BiOH Polyols Marketing Manager on March 24, 2010

Did you know that you might be sitting on soy while waiting for your next flight? Arconas became the first airport-seating manufacturer to incorporate soy-based BiOH® polyols from Cargill in late 2009. Arconas is a global leader in airport seating, servicing some of the world’s largest airports such as Boston Logan, Dallas/Fort Worth, JFK, Hong Kong, La Guardia, Lisbon, and Orlando, among others.

So where will you be able to sit on soy? Arconas seating with BiOH polyols is coming soon to these airports:

  • Los Angeles International Airport, CA
  • Raleigh-Durham International Airport, NC
  • Winnipeg International Airport, MB
  • Des Moines International Airport, IA
  • Newport News International Airport, VA
  • Calgary Executive Flight Center, AB
  • San Antonio International Airport, TX

This week the Arconas team is highlighting their innovative products – including those containing soy foam with BiOH Polyols - at the Passenger Terminal Expo in Brussels, Belgium. Among other things, visitors to their booth may receive a reusable shopping bag crafted by Arconas from 100% recycled textiles as shown in the picture below!

These reusable shopping bags from Arconas made from 100% recycled textiles will be handed out during the Passenger Terminal Expo.

You can keep up with Arconas  and their innovative products on Facebook, Twitter: @Arconas, or their You Tube channel.  And next time you’re at the airport… consider if you might be sitting on a soy innovation while waiting for your flight!
