As regulations tighten and consumer demand shifts toward sustainability, the industry must adapt. Green chemistry offers a key part of this adaptation, presenting a major opportunity for investors and manufacturers to drive innovation in sustainable chemical processes. 

In recent decades, globalisation enabled the chemical manufacturing industry to outsource production to regions with lower labour costs, abundant raw materials, and favourable regulatory environments, resulting in reduced production costs and higher profit margins. However, this global expansion also increased exposure to risks, volatile pricing, and complex supply chains. 

Despite its significant carbon footprint, the chemical industry occupies a unique position. As the third-largest global emitter of CO₂, it is also poised to play a leading role in advancing sustainability efforts and reducing emissions across other sectors.

As global focus shifts toward sustainability, there is a growing need for safer, more efficient alternatives that minimise energy use and environmental impact.
