Chemicals pollution and climate change are two key pillars of global sustainability, and as chemists, we have the opportunity – and the responsibility – to answer that call. Polymers in liquid formulations (PLFs) are a key part of the puzzle. An estimated 36 million tonnes of PLFs are produced annually, mostly derived from fossil fuels. They are the group of chemicals that hardly anybody has heard of, but nearly everybody uses daily – from the shampoo you wash your hair with, to the paint you put on your walls. However, virtually no PLFs are recovered, reused or recycled after use – meaning they build up in our soil and waterways. We launched our 2040 roadmap for sustainable polymers in liquid formulations a year ago, and are today proudly hosting the first Sustainable PLFs Annual Summit today to drive forward system-wide change for our roadmap's Missions of circularity and biodegradability.
