Cefic\u2019s Responsible Care\u00ae<\/sup> Awards has taken a different approach this year. In place of the awards, two online galleries show some of Responsible Care participating companies\u2019 initiatives; to support Ukraine and to improve resource efficiency.

The updated chart reflects the industry\u2019s initiatives to reduce its carbon footprint and diversify its feedstock.
\nThe petrochemicals industry is a vital part of the global economy, providing the building blocks for 95% of all manufactured goods worldwide, from pharmaceuticals, building isolation, and smartphones to sportswear and wind turbines.
\nThe production of petrochemicals is a highly energy-intensive process that results in the release of a significant amount of greenhouse gases. Today, the industry is committed to undergoing a major transition towards sustainability: becoming climate neutral, increasing circularity, digitalising and implementing the Chemical Strategy for Sustainability, whilst also remaining globally competitive.
\nThe updated chart reflects the industry\u2019s journey to reaching climate goals, featuring new sources of feedstock such as bio naphtha, bioethanol, pyrolysis oil, hydrogen, and bio and recycled materials. Additionally, the industry is working on innovative technologies like the electrification of cracker furnaces and sites, carbon capture and storage, recycling, and improving product and process safety.
\nBy embracing new sources of feedstock and energy, and investing in new technologies, the petrochemicals industry is taking an important step towards a more sustainable future, while still providing the essential building blocks for modern life.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”https:\/\/www.petrochemistry.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Petrochemistry-FlowChart2022_V06-FINAL.pdf” url_new_window=”on” button_text=” DOWNLOAD THE FLOWCHART” button_alignment=”left” admin_label=”Call To Action” _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_button=”on” button_text_size=”17px” button_text_color=”#FFFFFF” button_bg_color=”#412E68″ button_border_width=”0px” button_border_radius=”40px” button_letter_spacing=”1px” button_font=”|700|||||||” button_use_icon=”off” custom_margin=”40px||-3px||false|false” custom_padding=”13px|40px|13px|40px|true|true” button_text_size_tablet=”” button_text_size_phone=”” button_text_size_last_edited=”on|desktop”][\/et_pb_button][et_pb_button button_url=”https:\/\/www.petrochemistry.eu\/about-petrochemistry\/flowchart\/” url_new_window=”on” button_text=”ORDER A PRINTED COPY” button_alignment=”left” admin_label=”Call To Action” _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_button=”on” button_text_size=”17px” button_text_color=”#FFFFFF” button_bg_color=”#412E68″ button_border_width=”0px” button_border_radius=”40px” button_letter_spacing=”1px” button_font=”|700|||||||” button_use_icon=”off” custom_margin=”40px||-3px||false|false” custom_padding=”13px|40px|13px|40px|true|true” button_text_size_tablet=”” button_text_size_phone=”” button_text_size_last_edited=”on|desktop”][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ disabled_on=”off|off|off” _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default” background_enable_color=”off” background_enable_image=”off” background_position=”top_center” z_index=”1″ custom_padding=”120px|13%|80px||false|false” custom_padding_tablet=”80px|3%|50px|3%|false|true” custom_padding_phone=”80px|5%||5%|false|true” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” background_last_edited=”off|desktop” use_background_color_gradient_tablet=”off” background_enable_image_tablet=”off”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.esig.org\/newsletters\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Cefic.png” title_text=”Cefic” _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default” max_width=”270px” max_width_tablet=”” max_width_phone=”150px” max_width_last_edited=”on|phone” custom_margin=”30px||8px|||” hover_enabled=”0″ custom_css_main_element=”display: inline-block;” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.esig.org\/newsletters\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Petrochemicals-Europe-tagline-logo-draft.png” title_text=”Petrochemicals Europe tagline logo draft” _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”42px||43px|||” hover_enabled=”0″ custom_css_main_element=”display: inline-block;” height=”55px” positioning=”relative” vertical_offset=”-23px” horizontal_offset=”18px” sticky_enabled=”0″ vertical_offset_last_edited=”on|phone” vertical_offset_phone=”-5px” min_height=”80px” min_height_last_edited=”on|desktop” min_height_tablet=”90px”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.esig.org\/newsletters\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/PetroEU-flowchart.png” title_text=”PetroEU flowchart” show_in_lightbox=”on” _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default” max_width=”10000px” max_width_tablet=”800px” max_width_phone=”100%” max_width_last_edited=”on|phone” module_alignment=”center” custom_margin=”||40px|||”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
