Through our partnership with Pantys, Solvay is helping bring advanced materials into products designed to support women’s health, comfort and menstrual dignity in Brazil. At the center is a shared goal: turn innovation into practical solutions that can improve everyday life. With Solvay’s materials expertise and Pantys’ purpose-driven approach, the partnership shows how science can help make impact more tangible. That science comes to life through Amni Soul Eco®, the Solvay polyamide yarn used in Pantys products. Designed with performance and lifecycle impact in mind, it helps connect chemistry to more responsible product choices. Together, Solvay and Pantys are showing how partnership can move innovation from the lab to real life.
Adipic acid is essential in the production of nylon, plastics, resins, coatings, adhesives, and synthetic lubricants. Traditionally, its production has been linked to high greenhouse gas emissions. At Solvay, we’ve changed that. Our Rhodiacid® Adipic Acid delivers one of the lowest carbon footprints worldwide, combining industrial reliability with sustainability. Verified by independent third-party analysis, our process achieves up to 45% lower carbon footprint compared to the global average. This innovation reflects our commitment to transparency and environmental responsibility, ensuring customers can meet performance needs while advancing their sustainability goals.
Every product has a journey before it reaches its destination. Making that journey more sustainable is an important part of reducing our overall environmental impact. Across Europe, our teams are working closely with logistics partners to reduce transportation-related emissions through practical solutions tailored to local needs. From using biofuels in France to deploying electric trucks in Germany, these initiatives show how collaboration and innovation can help build a lower-carbon value chain while keeping products moving efficiently. It's one more way we're turning our sustainability ambitions into tangible action.
Copper producers are facing increasingly complex ores with higher pyrite and iron sulfide content. Traditional methods often add cost and variability without solving the root challenges. That’s why Solvay’s Interox® hydrogen peroxide offers a new approach - improving copper recovery by 3–5% while delivering cleaner concentrates and reducing reagent consumption. We’ve prepared a technical brochure that outlines: ‣Copper recovery improvements ‣Pyrite depression mechanisms ‣Circuit integration strategies ‣Operational benefits 👉 Download the brochure today and discover how hydrogen peroxide can optimize your flotation performance: https://lnkd.in/eMRve2DK
We’re proud to share our latest EcoVadis results, reflecting continued progress in building resilient and sustainable value chains to strengthen our position as a trusted partner. With an improved score of 81/100, we confirm our rank in the top 3% of companies in our sector and top 4% globally. This progress is driven by recognized performance across key areas, including sustainable procurement and ethics, where we are among the top performers. In particular, our sustainable procurement score reached 98/100, highlighting our commitment to responsible sourcing, engaging our suppliers on sustainability, for the benefit of our customers. Across our value chains, this performance is backed by concrete actions that support more resilience and sustainability: In Rare Earths, we are supporting the development of recycling and junior mines to secure supply chains. In Silica, we are scaling circular raw materials such as rice husk ash and waste sand as alternatives to virgin resources. In parallel, we continue to work closely with our suppliers to reduce our product carbon footprint and to improve transparency along the value chain. For instance, we are now sourcing Aluminium Chloride for Peroxides with more than 50% lower emissions, and we are procuring biogenic CO2 for Soda Ash and Special Chem. Together with our partners, we are building more resilient and sustainable value chains.
