Insects and ticks can transmit dangerous diseases. Effective insect repellents are therefore more necessary than ever, while at the same time being well tolerated. Saltidin® shines with precisely these properties. There are already numerous formulations on the market that contain Saltidin®. https://lnkd.in/g8P84iej

ISCC PLUS is a sustainability certification program for bio-based and circular (recycled) raw materials for all markets and sectors not regulated as transportation fuels under the European Renewable Energy Directive (EU RED) or Fuel Quality Directive (FQD), which are covered under the ISCC EU certification scheme. The aim of ISCC Plus is to offer a maximum of transparency for sustainability along the whole value chain. Under ISCC PLUS the following three raw material categories (arising at the beginning of the supply chain) can be certified: Bio, circular & renewable. In order to be designated "green", the sites' production facilities must obtain ISCC PLUS certification. This is already the case for all of the Flavors & Fragrances BU production sites in the Netherlands, Germany, India, Great Britain and the USA. This provides the basis for a green offer according to the mass balance procedure. Find more details here: https://lnkd.in/eFQkCzjN 

We are proud to share that we are set to exceed market expectations and previous year's performance with our Q2 2024 EBITDA pre exceptionals. Our preliminary figure stands at EUR 181 million, surpassing the average market expectation of EUR 137 million by an impressive 32% and outpacing last year's Q2 figure by 69%. This remarkable achievement is driven by increased utilization rates and the successful implementation of our cost-saving program. While we faced challenges in the agro chemicals and construction industries, we saw slight increases in sales volumes in other customer sectors. Looking ahead, we remain confident in our full-year guidance, anticipating a growth of 10-20% in EBITDA pre exceptionals compared to last year. For Q3 2024, we expect to maintain or exceed our Q2 performance. Stay tuned for our full Q2 results release on August 9, 2024. Thank you for your continued support and trust in LANXESS 💪

The #MassBalance method is one approach to track the flow of #sustainable materials in complex value chains. It is a pragmatic and transparent method to use sustainable raw materials in existing assets as a drop-in solution into existing material streams. Sustainable feedstocks entering the production system are recorded and documented. The same applies to sustainable products that are placed on the market. In the mass balance method, the quantity of sustainable materials leaving the production plant must never exceed the quantity that is fed into it. In the processing procedure, the sustainable feedstock mixes with other raw materials. After processing, the sustainable feedstocks in the mixture can only be determined on a bookkeeping basis. The properties of the sustainable and non-sustainable products are therefore identical.    Find more details here: https://lnkd.in/eFQkCzjN
