Solvay Accelerates Efforts to Reduce GHG Emissions Through Launch of New Product Carbon Footprint Tool
Solvay has developed an automated system to calculate product carbon footprint (PCF), a measurement that takes into account all greenhouse gas emissions generated by a product from raw material extraction to when it leaves the Solvay factory (cradle to gate). The digital tool is being rolled out across the Group’s Novecare business, which offers high-performing solutions across the agro, home and personal care, coatings and industrial markets.
Solvay, a global market leader in specialty materials, has introduced Diofan® Ultra736, a new polyvinylidene chloride (PVDC) coating solution with ultra-high water vapor barrier that allows carbon footprint reduction for pharmaceutical blister films. As an aqueous dispersion, Diofan® Ultra736 is fluorine-free, meets regulatory requirements for direct pharmaceutical contact and supports the design of sustainable films with thinner coating designs.
Printing is as important today as it has ever been and it’s a segment that is changing fast. Sustainability challenges are driving the demand for Polytetrafluorethylen (PTFE)-free additives as consumers increasingly look for environmentally friendly alternatives. Regulations globally are also targeting PTFE and its PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) counterparts, meaning now is the time join the sustainable printing journey. The good news is that with the ongoing evolution of inks and their impact on our environment it is now possible to print in an environmentally conscious way making the world of sustainable printing an exciting one.
The new products, Valeric Acid Pro 100 and 2-Ethylhexanoic Acid Pro 100, represent the latest stride in Perstorp's mission towards becoming Finite Material Neutral™, heralding a significant shift in the industry's dependence on virgin fossil raw materials while allowing downstream industries to reduce Scope 3 emissions.
