Resource efficiency benchmarks in the chemical industry<\/h3>\n

Raw materials and waste are often the highest costs of production in the chemical industry. Improving material efficiency and reducing waste can significantly improve economic performance at a company and improve its environmental performance.<\/p>\n

This presentation provides:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Formulas for calculating material, energy work and plant efficiency;<\/li>\n
  • Example resource and pollution intensity benchmarks for selected chemical subsectors;<\/li>\n
  • Example benchmarks for chemical consumption and waste for the production of specific chemicals (e.g. polystyrene).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
