Sustainable solutions
The chemical industry enables sustainable development. To create sustainable solutions, we need cooperation to promote innovation and legislation that encourages a circular economy.
- Smart regulations
- Finland is heavily involved in the creation of new climate, energy, environmental, chemical and waste legislation for the EU
- The companies’ independent work and supervision have proven to be effective and should be recognised as part of the regulations
- Promoting circular economy
- A circular economy requires coordinating many different areas of legislation. The possibilities for recycling waste and by-product streams should be improved, without compromising safety
- In the use of natural resources, sustainability should be measured in relation to the amounts produced, not as an absolute value for the consumption of resources
- A well-functioning energy system
- The climate is global. In the fight against climate change, the focus should therefore be moved from Finland and the EU to the international level
- The Finnish energy system must be developed to further lower emissions, improve reliability and make the prices more competitive
