Beet pulp as an alternative to chemical ingredientsResearch has shown that pectins from sugar beet pulp are suitable as bio-based ingredients in the production of leather. How to achieve and prove sustainability in chemicals?To attain more sustainable production of leather, the chemicals and processes need to be redesigned. How to do this and how to prove this? Chemicals Market Outlook 2022If one thing is clear since the fourth quarter of 2021 it is that chemicals availability and pricing are not improving and are not expected to improve before Q3 of 2022. Phenolic monomers in aromatic syntans: the influence on leatherAromatic syntans are widely used in the (re)tanning of leathers. Phenolic monomers such as phenol, phenolsulfonic acid, bisphenol S, and bisphenol F are common compounds in aromatic syntans. Hans` perspective: Fundamental changes on the horizon for GDAChinese government implemented legislation under which the handling of chromium-containing waste streams is heavily controlled and restricted. Processes will need to be changed, recipes and articles reformulated, approvals and certifications redone and consumers informed and educated.
