Recreaire carbonate ethoxylates from Econic Technologies is a first-of-its-kind family of surfactants based on carbon dioxide (CO2). These new surfactants use carbon dioxide as a raw material, replacing traditional oleochemicals and a portion of fossil-based materials while improving sustainability, performance, and cost at scale. Recreaire is a flexible platform technology that can deliver sustainable analogues […]
At the ESF North America conference in Houston last week, SCS Global Services (SCS) unveiled Carbon Assured, a new third-party certification for the greenhouse gas intensity and reduction in carbon dioxide equivalents of a chemical material. Underpinned by SCS Standards’ SCS-115 Certification Standard for Product Carbon Intensity and Reduction for Chemicals and Co-products, the certification […]

Arkema, AkzoNobel, and Omya have collaborated to develop a range of low-carbon options for more sustainable decorative paints with a 30% or more reduced carbon footprint (cradle-to-grave including biogenic uptake according to ISO 14040, 14044 and 14067) for mass market adoption while maintaining equivalent performance. The project aimed to expand experiments and achieve up to […]
Insight Polymers & Compounding has developed a line of carbon nanotube (CNT) concentrates that improve tensile strength and stiffness by 20% to 100% while maintaining impact strength. Initially showcased at the 2024 Compounding World Expo North America, the masterbatches contain 15% CNTs by weight. They can be let down in the associated carrier materials with […]
In research news, Feng Jiao, the Elvera and William R. Stuckenberg Professor in in the McKelvey School of Engineering at Washington University in St. Louis, has developed a two-step process to convert carbon dioxide (CO2) into carbon-based materials used in the production of food, plastics, and other commodity chemicals. Jiao’s tandem CO2 electrolysis produces acetate […]
In response to growing environmental concerns and consumer demand for eco-friendly solutions, adhesive manufacturers continue to move toward more sustainable products. This transition involves the development of adhesives that are made from renewable, biodegradable, and non-toxic materials, reducing reliance on petroleum-based resources. A partnership between adhesive manufacturer, Henkel, and chemical and specialty materials company, Celanese, […]
