European chemical companies pessimistic for 2025: recovery not foreseeable until 2026
News 2025-03-11
After a sobering financial year in 2024 (“lost year”), the leading European chemical companies are still not forecasting any significant recovery for 2025. A cautiously positive development is only expected in the second half of the year – provided that a global trade war or a lack of economic recovery do not throw a spanner in the works. “The chemical industry is heavily dependent on consumer sentiment, as almost all con

However, new techn
EPA designates two ‘forever chemicals’ as hazardous substances
News 2022-04-19
The US Environmental Protection Agency designated two widely used “forever chemicals” as hazardous substances under the United States’ Superfund law on Friday. This ruling will allow the EPA to investigate and clean up leaks and spills of these harmful chemicals, according to the official news release. It will also ensure that polluters are charged for the clean-up of contamination involving these chemicals. The two designated chemicals, p
