There are many certification schemes on the market with regards to sustainability. In order to be relevant and make a real difference in reducing CO₂ emissions, companies need to have their systems tested - as comprehensively, transparently and independently as possible. The ISCC standard is a globally recognised certification system based on a circular economy. The following article gives an overview of the testing system, the legal requirements and which raw materials, products and industries are taken into account.

Mobility has always been part of human visions and ideas, as well as a decisive driver for progress. Aviation plays a particular role in this and there is now no destination in the world that cannot be reached in 24 hours. However, air travel represents a huge challenge if we wish to ensure the protection of our climate. To make flying more sustainable, new technologies, alternative aviation fuels and new concepts are being pursued. Read more about the developments towards sustainable flying.

Manufacturers of insulation materials for construction or cooling units have high demands on the product qualities of their raw materials. After all, insulation materials have to perform at the highest level over the long term. Physical blowing agents such as Pentanes play a particularly important role in this. Without them, the insulating material, for example made of polyurethane foam, cannot fully develop its effect. Find out which quality features are important for physical blowing agents.

On-time delivery and reliable planning are important key factors for companies. Should delays occur during transportation, customers want prompt information and transparent communication in order to quickly implement new solutions and, in the worst case, avoid production downtimes. In this article, you can learn all about the requirements, technical implementation and customer benefits of introducing the digital supply chain platform at Haltermann Carless.

As early as 1992, the global community recognised that water sustainability concepts are of crucial importance and adopted the guiding principle of sustainable development. Since then, the protection of water resources has been one of the United Nations' greatest tasks and is anchored in the 6th Sustainable Development Goal. Water treatment plays a central role in achieving the sustainable development. In the following article you will learn more about water recycling, treatment processes and why industry is part of the solution.

The use of sustainable raw materials has long been an important part of the chemical industry's production processes and strategic efforts to make a contribution to Greenhouse Gas reduction and enhanced climate protection. The mass balance approach is a major and important step in driving the transition to alternative raw materials and the achievement of a full circular economy. But what exactly does mass balance mean and how does it contribute to a more sustainable product? The following article provides an overview.

Haltermann Carless introduced a group-wide Sustainability Strategy in 2022. Offering customers alternative solutions builds on the companies' commitment in the strategy to drive portfolio change and bring GHG reductions in the supply chain. The mass balance approach is now another important building block that Haltermann Carless is implementing in order to be able to offer GHG reduced Pentane. How exactly this works, how challenges were solved and what added value customers can expect are explained in an interview by René Tessmann, Senior Vice President Business Unit Industrial and Chris Hutchinson, Senior Vice President Corporate Development & Sustainability. 

High purity and tailor-made solvents are crucial for the agrochemical industry. Aromatic solvents must meet the highest standards and guarantee quality in agrochemical applications enabling high crop yields while at the same time offering the highest possible protection of the environment. Haltermann Carless provides an optimised portfolio for the industry and, in addition, a wide range of services.
