Revised carbon emission factors: transparency driving sustainability
At Clariant, transparency regarding the carbon footprint of our products is key for the sustainability transformation of our portfolio. This transparency supports our shift to climate-neutral operations and low-emission raw materials, while also providing our customers with science-based information to make informed decisions and reach their own sustainability goals. This is why Clariant launched in 2022 its automated product carbon footprint (PCF) calculator to provide customers with PCFs for their products.
Rice bran wax: a sustainable and superior alternative to montan wax
In a world increasingly focused on sustainability, the materials we choose for our products have never been more important. For decades, montan wax has been a staple in the coatings and plastics industries, valued for its performance and cost-effectiveness. However, it's time to rethink our reliance on fossil-based materials like montan wax. Enter rice bran wax - a biobased, renewable option that offers performance comparable to montan wax while minimizing environmental impact.
Catalysts & Adsorbents: Accelerating the circular plastics economy
Clariant's innovative EcoCircle platform is pioneering chemical recycling solutions to transform the traditional linear plastics economy into a sustainable circular model. Chemical plastic recycling is essential if we are to reduce the growing environmental burden of plastic waste. Instead of being incinerated or ending up in landfills, mixed plastic waste can be converted to pyrolysis oils, which can be used as feedstock for the sustainable production of valuable chemicals.
High-throughput testing – ensuring safe cosmetics with cutting-edge robotics
When seasoning our meals with salt or putting on perfume, we keep a fine balance between too much and too little. The same balance is also important for preservatives in cosmetics, which should only be added at the lowest possible limits. AMICA, a cutting-edge robot in Clariant’s German innovation labs, is a powerful new tool for determining these limits. It tests preservatives at an unprecedented level of speed and efficiency – enhancing the safety of skin care users, sunbathers, and toddlers.
