Neste, the world\u2019s leading provider of sustainable renewable diesel and an expert in delivering drop-in renewable chemical solutions, and Clariant, a world leader in specialty chemicals, have signed an agreement for a new partnership to join forces in developing and making new sustainable material solutions accessible to a variety of industries.<\/strong><\/p>\n In the first phase of the partnership, companies will start replacing fossil-based ethylene and propylene used in Clariant\u2019s top-quality hot-melt adhesives, with monomers derived from renewable feedstock. This is enabled by turning Neste\u2019s renewable hydrocarbons \u2013 produced 100% from renewable raw materials, such as waste and residue fats and oils as well as vegetable oils \u2013 into ethylene and propylene for Clariant\u2019s products.<\/p>\n In a later phase, the companies will also develop other sustainable additive solutions derived from renewable raw materials for plastics and coatings applications. This will enable the two companies to help various sustainability-focused brand owners \u2013 such as those producing furniture, sporting goods, hygiene products, electronics, and automotives \u2013 to increase their bio-based offering while also reducing crude oil dependency and climate emissions.<\/p>\n \u201cWe are proud to join forces with Clariant, one of the most innovative players in the specialty chemicals industry. Collaboration marks an essential step forward in Neste\u2019s quest to become a preferred partner as a provider of sustainable chemicals solutions for forerunner brands\u201d, says Peter Vanacker, President & CEO from Neste.<\/p>\n \u201cCombining Clariant\u2019s in-depth knowhow in the varying applications of adhesives, plastics, and coatings, with Neste\u2019s extensive knowledge and experience in working with bio-based materials to produce a variety of drop-in renewable solutions, enables both companies to develop their sustainable material offering to provide maximum added value not only to sustainable brands in varying industries but also to their customers,\u201d Vanacker adds.<\/p>\n \u201cFor the society, our environment, and future generations, it is our responsibility to\u00a0improve sustainability performance and reduce our carbon footprint and dependency on crude oil. As a result of Clariant\u2019s partnership with Neste, we can progress our goal to become a true sustainable solution provider in the additive market, offering our customers products and solutions that can make a positive contribution towards their targets and enhance end applications,\u201d continues Gloria Glang, Vice President, Head of Global Advanced Surface Solutions Business at Clariant.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Neste (NESTE, Nasdaq Helsinki) creates sustainable solutions for transport, business, and consumer needs.
