Microplastics ¨C Kemira research proves it can be removed from water

In our recently published study, we prove that commercially available water treatment chemistry ¨C solutions that are commonly used for drinking water production and wastewater purification ¨C can effectively remove microplastics from water.

Adapting business to new realities

Limiting climate change is quickly rising to the top of many companies¡¯ agendas, and rightfully so. An increasing number of companies are trying to reduce their impacts on climate change by comitting to their own targets based on science. Kemira is one of them. Our ambition is net zero emissions by 2045.

Sustainable solutions for increasingly complex mine processing challenges

Ruan Pretorius's work provides a vital link between the lab and the field, helping to develop cutting-edge chemical solutions that help customers to maintain productivity and profitability when processing increasingly challenging mineral deposits.

Survey reveals discussion on water required also in Finland

According to a recent survey, 97%% of Finns trust the tap water in their home for drinking. This is an exceptionally high rate. However, the survey finds, many Finns don¡¯t seem to know how their country achieves consistently high water quality, particularly younger generations.

Nature-based solutions for resilient cities

The world is being rapidly transformed by the processes of urbanization and climate change. With these changes, many harmful consequences are felt, especially on water resources. Sustainable urban Drainage Systems (SuDS) offer tools to lessen the impacts of these problems by creating spaces in urban environments where rainfall can be collected by vegetation and soil.

Optimizing water treatment efficiency at pulp and paper mills

The right dose of chemicals to the right place at the right time. The recipe for optimized water treatment performance at a pulp or paper mill is simple, but the varying conditions make it difficult in practice.

Food packaging ¨C Toward a strictly regulated future?

Recently, Kemira asked a group of industry experts to engage in scenario work to investigate the possible futures of food packaging. One of the four scenarios identified paints a picture of a strictly regulated market. What kind of challenges and opportunities would this mean for the fiber-based packaging value chain if it became a reality?

Germany and climate adaption: the case for water reuse

Kemira recently commissioned an international consumer survey to better understand people¡¯s attitudes and concerns related to water. Here we focus on the results from Germany, where 74%% of the respondents believe water is the country¡¯s most valuable resource.

Safe and reliable fertilizer ¨C made by you and me

Sewage contains residuals and contaminants, an unsavory thought for anything food related. However, it also contains something incredibly valuable: phosphorus.

Turning the tide on wastewater

All the water that Kemira is helping to clean can either be recycled and reused by customers in their processes or returned safely back into the environment. This does not only help save water, but also makes more safe and clean water available.
