Chemical industry reduces emissions--from production to the consumer.
Responsible care has always been an important issue at a chemical industry like Bayer. In recent years, the company has made extensive efforts to further improve its products and processes with regard to environmental protection and safety. In this contribution, a number of examples will highlight recent achievements of Bayer in the field of low or no emission processes and products. Examples are given in the fields of production-integrated environmental protection measures (new and improved processes e.g., for the production of adipic acid), the application of integrated environmental protection measures (2K-PUR water-borne coatings for cars) and product-integrated environmental protection measures (targeted application of insecticides/Attract and Kill) as a new low emission method to control insect pests.
