DyStar beats energy reduction targets
Chemical company DyStar has reduced energy consumption by 22% and greenhouse gas emission intensity by 15% since it launched its sustainability goals in 2010.
At the time, it was aiming for a 22% reduction in each, so it has bettered the energy target five years early.
The Singapore-based group has outlined recent progress in its Sustainability Report 2014, in which it also highlights that water recycling was improved by 9% compared with 2013.
It increased waste recycling programmes. Its facility Nanjing, China, recycled 83,480kg during the year.
New products also focused on environmental credentials: Realan Black MF-PV for black wool is free of adsorbable organic halides and heavy materials and Levafix ECO cellulose dyes are free from regulated amines and meet the requirements of restricted substance lists.
