  What can a sample of trona teach a classroom about the future?

  At Solvay’s Green River site, quite a lot. 🔍 Quality Supervisor Dave Smith regularly visits local schools in southwestern Wyoming, bringing samples of trona, sodium bicarbonate and soda ash with him. He explains how they are produced, answers students’ questions, and gives them a closer look at an industry that is part of their community. These conversations also reveal something students may not expect: the range of careers available at a site like Green River. “We have more than miners,” Dave explains. From engineering and environmental roles to accounting and operations, many different skills keep the site moving. Some of the students from Dave’s first visits are now approaching the end of high school. It is a reminder that when employees share what they know, they can help the next generation imagine paths they may never have considered.

  Psychological safety should be visible in the way we work. 🧠

  For #WorldMentalHealthDay, we are introducing our Psychological Safety Essentials: three practical principles to support mental well-being at work. 1. Speak up openly 2. Ask for help before reaching the limit 3. Respect time to recharge They offer colleagues a shared reference for everyday conversations and decisions. Because staying safe also means feeling able to raise concerns, seek support and take the time needed to recover. These principles are supported by a range of employee programs and well-being resources, helping colleagues find the support they need, when they need it.

  The Power of Peroxide in Mining

  The mining industry is facing declining ore grades, increasing the need for more efficient and selective recovery technologies. Across gold, silver, and copper operations, hydrogen peroxide is increasingly used to enhance leaching performance, improve oxidation conditions, and support higher metal recovery from complex ores. Solvay’s hydrogen peroxide solutions deliver consistent quality, reliable supply, and dedicated technical expertise to help mining operations meet today’s metallurgical challenges, from lab to full-scale production.

  What if one researcher could do in weeks what used to take a large team several months?

  That's exactly what happened at Solvay. Using AI, one of our researchers reviewed more than 1,000 patents and scientific publications to identify new opportunities for bicarbonate applications. A task that would traditionally require a large team and several months was completed in around 200 hours, entirely in-house. This is one of the many ways AI is helping our researchers accelerate discovery and uncover new business opportunities. By combining human expertise with AI, we are building a more connected, data-driven and agile R&I ecosystem, unlocking the value of our scientific knowledge and focusing our talents on developing the next generation of sustainable solutions. It's one example of how we're transforming R&I to ensure Solvay remains Essential for generations.

  Solvay is expanding its electronic grade hydrogen peroxide production in Taiwan

  As semiconductor demand grows, consistency becomes even more critical. Used to clean semiconductor wafers during chip manufacturing, electronic grade hydrogen peroxide needs to meet extremely high purity standards. As chips become smaller and more complex, even microscopic impurities can affect their performance. That’s where our Chemistry of Consistency comes in. The high-purity grades produced in Taiwan meet the same performance, quality and consistency standards as those supplied through Solvay’s global manufacturing network. By increasing local production, we are strengthening supply closer to our customers while maintaining the consistency advanced semiconductor manufacturing requires.
