Sustainable transformation starts within the chemical industry
The Eiffeltower is repainted every 7th year with 50 000 liters of alkyd paint. If instead of using this fossil based resin, Perstorp´s Pro-Environment grade of Penta, called Voxtar™, would be used, the effect would be a reduction of about 11 000 ton CO2 emissions, and 3500 kg virgin fossil raw material would stay in the ground. And this is only one object. 96% of all manufactured goods rely on chemical products. Imagine what transforming the entire chemical industry would do.
Chemistry is a fundamental building block and a solution provider
Chemistry is fundamental when you get dressed in the morning, when using a screen, eating breakfast and in almost everything that you do in a day. Chemistry is the fundamental building blocks of life and practically all materials that we use in our daily lives such as clothes, furniture, computers, cars, building materials.Innovative chemical solutions drive development of efficient lubricants as well as durable and lightweight materials for wind turbines and efficient batteries that enable the transformation from fossil to renewable energy sources. Chemistry is a major solution provider, where one molecule can change everything.
