About Euro Chlor
Euro Chlor successfully regroups nearly all chlorine producers in Europe as well as chlorine-related associations for derivatives, solvents and paraffins into a strong, united organisation representing the chlor-alkali industry.
- In Europe, 36 producer
members of Euro Chlor directly employ about 39,000 people
at 69 manufacturing locations in 20
countries.
From its offices in Brussels, Euro Chlor also provides the
Secretariat for the World Chlorine Council, a global network of
national or regional organizations in more than 27 countries. WCC
represents producers accounting for more than 80% of worldwide
chlor-alkali production.
In the debate on chlorine's role in society, Euro Chlor
effectively represents the interests of chlorine producers
in Europe. It works hard to provide a focus for
communications with key influence groups on chlorine
issues and benefits. Euro Chlor promotes also the best
practices in safety, health and environmental protection
throughout the industry and has proved a sound defender
safeguarding appropriate and essential applications.
Despite all this activity, the chlorine industry needs to
maintain its efforts if the sector is to retain public confidence
and be allowed to operate successfully. For this reason, all
chlorine chemistry stakeholders - producers and users of chlorine
and its derivatives as well as chlorine-related associations - are
encouraged to join forces within Euro Chlor in
order to safeguard vital, sustainable applications of chlorine
chemistry.

At the occasion of its 20th anniversary, in 2009, Euro Chlor
issued a leaflet that gives a very interesting view on the
societal context the Association had to operate in. Which was of
course also the reason Euro Chlor was founded. Read the 20 year anniversary leaflet
(PDF document).
