chemical manufacturer can promote sustainable development in the following ways:

Optimization of production processes
- Energy management: Optimize the energy structure to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and use more renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power. Implementing a risk-based maintenance and reliability program can also optimize resource utilization and reduce energy losses.
- Application of green technologies: Adopt green chemical production technologies. For example, microreactor technology can achieve continuous chemical processes, improve reaction and separation effects, reduce emissions, and also achieve miniaturization and lightweighting, enhancing the inherent safety and space utilization efficiency. In addition, using synthetic biology techniques to design and synthesize enzymes and cells can drive disruptive technological innovation.
- Digital transformation: Build a digital operation system to achieve intelligent and automated production, management, and marketing. Big data analytics can be used to accurately predict market demand, optimize production plans, and reduce inventory costs. At the same time, digital means can be used to remotely monitor and maintain equipment, improving equipment efficiency and service life.

Raw material selection and management
- Introduction of green raw materials: Gradually replace traditional fossil raw materials with bio-based materials and recyclable materials. Although this requires overcoming technical and financial difficulties, in the long run, it helps chemical manufacturer develop green products and gain a market advantage.
- Green supply chain management: Join initiatives such as TfS (Together for Sustainability) to promote the green transformation of the upstream and downstream supply chain and adopt strict environmental, social, and governance (ESG) standards. Collaborate with supply chain partners to jointly plan production processes, reduce energy waste, and jointly invest in the construction of clean energy power plants or wastewater treatment facilities.

Product innovation and design
- Developing green products: Focus on green product design and develop biodegradable and recyclable chemical products. For example, Henkel's Persil Ultra Concentrate increases the concentration of ingredients, making the packaging smaller and reducing plastic usage and carbon emissions during transportation.
- Enhancing product added value: Optimize the product portfolio and develop high-performance, multifunctional chemical products to meet the market's demand for green products and improve product added value and market competitiveness.

Waste treatment and resource recovery
- Strengthening waste recycling: Improve the level of waste recycling and promote the regeneration of waste plastics and other chemical products. Overcome the cost challenges of waste recycling and reprocessing and develop more economically viable clean energy production technologies.
- Reducing waste emissions: Improve production processes to reduce energy and material consumption and reduce the emissions of wastewater, exhaust gas, and waste residue. Use cloud technology to manage data, optimize production processes, reduce solvent requirements, and lower the emissions of harmful gases.

Policy and cooperation
- Actively respond to policies: Comply with government regulations such as energy-saving and emission-reduction laws and the introduction of carbon trading markets. Take advantage of government incentives such as subsidies and low-interest loans to accelerate the development and application of energy-saving and emission-reduction technologies.
- Carry out cooperation and exchange: Strengthen cooperation with research institutions and universities to jointly develop green technologies. Establish an ecological cooperation system with other chemical manufacturer to share resources and jointly promote sustainable development.
