New website shows how chlor-alkali is enabling a more sustainable future

19/07/2019

Chlor-alkali chemistry is essential to help achieve many of the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The 17 SDGs are at the heart of global efforts to build a better world for people and our planet by 2030. Adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015, the SDGs are a call for action by all countries to promote prosperity whilst protecting the environment.

As such, the World Chlorine Council (WCC), whose Secretariat is currently being managed by Euro Chlor until the end of 2020, has prepared a new website that lists the contributions that chlor-alkali can make.

The WCC brings people together from around the globe to discuss, partner, and further global progress toward sustainability and achieve the SDGs, among many other topics.

You can find out more about which SDGs in particular are supported by chlorine chemistry on the WCC website at https://worldchlorine.org/sustainability/.
