Sustainability Innovations in the Chemical Industry
The ICIS Innovation Awards recognize and reward companies paving the way in product, process and sustainability innovations in the chemical industry. The multi-purpose additive range of waxes Licocare® RBW Vita, derived from crude rice bran wax, won ‘Best Product’.
Made from the waste stream from the production of rice bran oil, it presents a sustainable
alternative to fossil-based waxes and offers added value in technical applications.
In addition, the ammonia synthesis catalyst AmoMax™-Casale was awarded ‘Best Sustainable Process’. Developed in a joint, multidisciplinary effort by Clariant and Casale, AmoMax-Casale is the customized evolution of Clariant’s industry-proven AmoMax™ 10 series. Its improved performance means that plant operators can significantly reduce their energy consumption.
“
Since both innovation and sustainability are among Clariant’s strategic pillars, it makes me very proud to see that the efforts of our teams are being recognized by ICIS. It shows that we are on the right track with our transformation into a leading specialty chemicals company,” said Clariant’s chief operating officer Hans Bohnen.
