Our business cases

Case
Activated carbon purifies water of many micropollutants
Micropollutant removal is expected to become increasingly relevant for water and wastewater treatment plants due to the increasing concern for consumer health and environmental safety. Activated Carbon technology allows ÀÖÌìÌÃÓÎÏ·ÍøÕ¾ customers to remove far smaller particles and enable water-focused companies to utilize an effective ¡°polishing¡± process to further purify the water.
Case
ÀÖÌìÌÃÓÎÏ·ÍøÕ¾¡¯s products help to protect lakes from phosphorus
Phosphorus is a nutrient present in the wastewater that needs to be removed to avoid algae growth and eutrophication in our lakes, rivers and seas. At wastewater treatment plants, coagulants are used to precipitate the phosphorus from the wastewater and separate it to the sludge produced.
Case
Collaboration for a renewable future in packaging
In early 2024, ÀÖÌìÌÃÓÎÏ·ÍøÕ¾ and PA Consulting formed a strategic collaboration that is focused on bringing to market an innovative ¡°alpha-glucan¡± renewable barrier coating, which provides an inherently strong environmental profile, including recyclability and compostability, combined with excellent barrier properties for flexible food packaging applications.
Case
Molded fiber ¨C forming a renewable future
In recent years, the critical need to reduce plastic waste has driven research into more sustainable alternatives to traditional packaging. Recyclable and compostable packaging made from renewable resources, like molded fiber products, is increasingly being seen as a viable solution. To replace plastic, fiber-based packaging needs to contain barrier properties for oil, grease, oxygen, and moisture.
