Textile recycling: an opportunity for innovative chemistry

Today’s fashion industry is faced with a great challenge – textile waste. Fast fashion and accelerated trend cycles have led to mounting clothing waste and few solutions to solve it at scale. Industry innovators like the Finnish clothing brand Pure Waste are eager to help solve this problem by offering clothing made from recycled fibers. A new type of recycling based on chemistry could help make this happen.

Turning captured carbon into essential chemical building blocks

While carbon capture and storage has been around for several decades, the utilization of captured carbon is a relatively new and growing field. As Kemira ventures into new territory with innovations for monomers made with renewable carbon, we took the opportunity to dig into carbon capture and utilization in more detail with Michael Carus, a leader from the Nova Institute and Renewable Carbon Initiative.

Biobased innovation: making circular polymers from sugar

Christian Lenges is an innovation expert at International Flavors & Fragrances (IFF), one of Kemira’s collaboration partners in the quest to develop fully biobased polymers that outperform traditional fossil-based derived products. 乐天堂手机app caught up with Christian to learn more about the challenges and opportunities of making polymers from sugar instead of fossil-based raw materials.

Energy-efficient wastewater treatment

The amount of energy consumed in wastewater treatment plants across the world is estimated at 1-3%% of global energy output. Learn how wastewater treatment plants can tackle increasing energy prices, scarcity of resources, and tightening regulations, while maintaining stable and future-proof operations.

African copper producer cuts froth in challenging conditions

A hydrometallurgical facility in the African copper belt was struggling with froth, a common issue in plants that process highly carbonaceous material. Not only was the froth causing operational issues, it constrained capacity, leading to production losses of approximately $5 million a day. Kemira KemFoamXTM 9980 brought it under control.
