Waste to Chemicals
By combining the carbon from waste with hydrogen, we can make key chemicals such as methanol in
a circular process, insteadof using natural gas
Waste
Salt mining in the Netherlands started over 100 years ago, when the Dutch KNZ
was founded
85% of pharmaceuticals are made using
chlorine chemistry

Instead of emitting it, we combine CO2 produced during steel production with hydrogen to make metha-

Industries worldwide rely on materials from AkzoNobel Specialty Chemicals for the manufacture of everyday products such as paper, plastics, building materials, and personal care items.
The business unit Industrial Chemicals helps industries make many of these products using an essential ingredient: salt.
From 2020, a new waste-to-chemicals plant in Rotterdam will save up to 300,000 tonnes of CO2 each year, by converting waste into new materials
instead of burning it
Caustic soda is used to make
aluminum, which is increasingly used to
make lightweight products to help save costs and emissions
from transport
Besides producing it from salt, AkzoNobel
is also working on making "green" hydrogen directly from water using
renewable power
More than 45% of the energy used by AkzoNobel
comes from renewable sources. Table salt
