Solvay Launches Syensqo: A Standalone Company On A Mission To Achieve A More Sustainable Future

Solvay’s decision to launch Syensqo – a standalone company that will run its speciality activities – was announced at the beginning of December 2023 following an extraordinary meeting in which 99.53% of shareholders supported the separation.

Benefitting from Solvay’s unique legacy and expertise, Syensqo’s mission to achieve a more sustainable future begins with its commitment to innovation and to becoming carbon neutral by 2040.

Its CEO, Dr Ilham Kadri, released the following statement:

“This is a historical moment. This turning point highlights the recognition and success of the in-depth transformation of Solvay in the past 5 years. I want to thank all our shareholders, board members and teams for their trust, and for making this ambitious project come true. I also wish the new Solvay a very bright future.

“I am now pleased to start a new chapter as CEO of the new specialty company Syensqo to deliver growth through exploring the technologies of tomorrow, with a strong management team and board.

“Our new pure play company, one of the largest in the world, will benefit from the rich heritage of Solvay. In particular, in carrying on the spirit of innovation of its founder Ernest Solvay, as a true science company at the service of disruptive technologies in lightweighting, electrification, digitalization, resource efficiency and biomaterials.

“Syensqo’s mission is to strengthen our innovation power to support our customers’ needs and environmental ambitions while delivering growth, and to become carbon neutral by 2040.”

Syensqo: Tackling Climate Change

Climate change is a global emergency that’s affecting everyone – every individual, community, country and organisation. It’s therefore absolutely vital that we all continue to work together to collectively reduce our environmental impact as much as possible.

Many organisations are already working hard to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, and for personal care formulators to achieve this goal they need to review each product’s entire lifecycle: looking at how their ingredients are sourced, how the product is manufactured and distributed, how it’s used by the consumer and finally how it’s disposed.

Soluble packaging: Your Questions Answered

For some time, the laundry detergent industry has shifted towards water-soluble pods/sachets as concentrated products, replacing traditional powders, liquids, and blocks. These products are available in single or multi-pocket formats. More recently, auto dishwash products have also moved towards multi-pocket pods, while hard surface cleaning sprays and disinfectant sprays have adopted concentrated powder or liquid pods that are diluted at the point of use in pump spray bottles.

We at Chemlink Harke Group are now exploring the use of soluble packaging in their rinse-off and leave-on cosmetic products, which represents a significant area of development. This opens up countless possibilities for joint collaboration with cosmetic brands to expand the application of this technology.

Eureco™ LX Grades for Detergents: Understanding Its Use as a Bleaching Agent

Solvay’s increasingly popular Eureco™ range (which is based on PAP: 6-phthalimidoperoxyhexanoic acid) provides effective and sustainable washing solutions for a variety of industries.

It’s worth noting here that there are a lot of misconceptions surrounding the use of PAP and its application, but the Eureco™ range is highly regarded for its excellent stain-removing capabilities (tackling some of the most stubborn stains such as tea, coffee, tomato and grass), its ability to eliminate malodour and kill germs, bacteria and fungi, all whilst remaining gentle on the skin. Eureco™ is also odourless and has an excellent eco-toxicological profile, with no chlorine or Volatile Organic Chemicals (VOC) released into the environment.
