Transitioning to Sustainable Chemicals

As chemical producers gain access to more renewable energy, and portfolios evolve, distributors and downstream customers can look forward to more availability of low carbon, low fossil content products. 

-          Distributors can help communicate sustainability data up and down industrial value chains

-          Full lifecycle analysis is required to truly measure a product’s environmental footprint   

-          Vital to have standard measurements for carbon footprint

-          Chemical industry has a 25-year innovation cycle, more investment needed to accelerate this

-          Wave of low carbon products expected in next 2-3 years 

-          Azelis is sticking to its environmental targets

-          Customers drive demand for more low carbon products

-          Renewable energy will cut fossil content of distributor product portfolios

-          Smaller chemical companies drive low carbon innovation in Asia

-          Reshoring will drive national or regional chemical value chains
