Governments and consumers alike are putting a lot of emphasis on sustainability and trying to improve the outlook of climate change and wildlife conservation with their purchases and actions. This however has opened the door for an increase in "greenwashing",  where companies make false or exaggerated claims about the sustainability of their product to boost sales.

Tina will therefore be discussing the key points which should be considered when assessing the environmental impact of a product, such as:

  • Using natural, renewable materials
  • The CO2 Footprint
  • Is it Microplastic free?
  • Compliance with different regulations and inventories
  • Is it VOC free?

 

She will also be giving an overview of the Munzing Chemie range of Green Additives and why these can be considered as such. Our Business Development Manager, Danielle Williams, will be on hand to answer any questions specific to the UK market or UK distribution.

Candidates include mica, micaceous iron oxide, hydrous and calcined kaolin, calcium carbonate, synthetic calcium silicate hydrates (tobermorite and xonotlite), wollastonite, nepheline syenite and feldspar. Each reproduces some of talc's functions well and others poorly.
