The new European Green Deal, with its goal to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, will change the EU\u2019s economy. The Circular Economy Action Plan will be at the centre of this new sustainability roadmap.. The aim is clear: to transform EU industry from linear to circular and achieve a carbon neutral economy.

\n

The new Circular Economy 2.0 package will not only focus on reducing environmental and social impacts. Instead the EU wants to look at products by taking into consideration their life cycle, from production to waste. To do this the Commission wants to put in place sustainability standards so that by 2030 all products available to European consumers will be circular, and also carbon neutral.

\n

What does this have to do with bromine?

\n

Bromine-based solutions are essential to many advancements in science and technology. Bromine compounds have been used for water treatment, reduction of mercury emissions, fire safety, energy storage and generation, production of pharmaceuticals and enhanced quality rubber.

\n

The use of bromine-based technologies has all the potential to increase the circularity of the EU\u2019s economy. Bromine brings to the table solutions and innovations that are environmentally friendly, safe and that can be used across the whole value chain.

\n

Bromine: the key to sustainable energy

\n

By 2050, it is expected that 9.7 billion people will populate our planet. The amount of (clean) energy needed will drastically increase. Unfortunately, renewable energy has a variable production nature and it is not always consumed when produced.

\n

So, how can we produce and store enough clean energy for everyone? Investing in energy storage is the solution, that\u2019s why the Commission plans to integrate the Circular Economy 2.0 with a new regulatory framework for batteries.

\n

Thanks to innovative energy storage technologies, 40% of the world\u2019s energy could come from wind and solar by 2060resource[1]. Expanding the energy storage capacity will help to fully exploit the expansion of renewable energy.

\n

Bromine-based energy storage technologies are a highly efficient and cost-effective solution that could play a vital role in transitioning towards a new circular economic model. There are many examples of this new model in Europe. For instance, a farm in the Netherlands is currently using bromine-based innovative battery technology to store the energy produced from its rooftop solar system.

\n

Use and reuse \u2013 Even with bromine

\n

To be circular, products must also be recyclable. Soon at the centre of the Circular Economy 2.0, the global recycled plastics market is expected to be worth over 45.8 billion euros by 2025[2]!

\n

Products or materials containing brominated flame retardants (BFRs) are\u00a0fully compatible with today\u2019s integrated waste management options, including mechanical recycling, chemical recycling and thermal processing, depolymerization and gasification \u2013 all of which enable the recovery of valuable materials or energy.

\n

New technologies have enabled the recycling of products containing BFRs. For example, the PolyStyreneLoop Cooperative recycles expanded polystyrene waste containing the flame-retardant hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD), helping transform the way the EU designs, uses, produces, and recycles plastic products.

\n

Also, the \u201cClose WEEE Project,\u201d co-funded under the H2020 programme, addresses the range and yields of recovered materials from WEEE streams using the CreaSolv\u00ae\u00a0Process. The project\u2019s results indicate a proof of concept with the separation approach for plastics such as ABS, PS, and BFR/antimony verified in laboratories and on a small technical scale.

\n

The chemical industry has developed eco-efficient waste management options such as chemical recycling, which even allows bromine to re-enter the circular economy as a valuable resource[3]. These innovations in the chemical sector are great assets to the circular economy.

\n

Water 2 Water

\n

One of the most ambitious aspects of the Circular Economy 2.0 is the need to enable the circular use of water. The action plan aims at facilitating water reuse while ensuring the sustainability of water management.

\n

Used in water treatment since the 30s, bromine chemistry can efficiently disinfect water from harmful contaminants. Bromine compounds have many available applications as disinfectants. Investing in bromine-based solutions could help improving the rate at which the EU industry recycles water while increasing the quality of industrial water discharge.

\n

Bromine-based products are also ideal for water treatment in pools and public fountains. They are widely used in spas and hot tubs to kill bacteria and help naturally sensitive skins. Think about that next time you need to relax!

\n

\n

BSEF supports the transition to a circular economy and strongly believes bromine technologies can help responding to global needs for maintaining clean water, and to meet increasing consumer demand for sustainable products.

Cars are still one of the most popular modes of transportation today (over 70% of journeys are made by car). However, busier traffic also means a much higher risk of becoming involved in an accident, meaning that safety on the roads is \u00a0critical.

\n

What is driving the automotive industry?

\n

The European passenger car market grew by 2.4% during the first three months of 2018, with 4.8 million vehicles sold (representing 21% of the global car market).

\n

Currently there are about 260 million cars driving around Europe, with an average of 587 cars per 1,000 inhabitants. Furthermore, the European commercial vehicle production is expected to increase by 3.4% in 2018.

\n

Having all these cars on the road requires better safety measures. So what can we do to ensure the highest level of safety while driving?

\n

Tyres matter, but why?

\n

Unfortunately, being safe does not solely depend on the way you are driving. To a large extent it also depends on \u00a0your tyres, as they are one of the most important parts of your car when it comes to safety. Although the brakes stop your wheels from turning, the grip of your tyres is the reason your car actually comes to a stop.

\n

Furthermore, they determine acceleration, driving comfort, steering, traction and overall handling when driving. Hence, to ensure safe driving, \u00a0it is of the utmost importance to choose high-quality tyres that are made of material that is adjusted to the roads and can withstand all kinds of road and weather conditions. Bromobutyl rubber serves this purpose.

\n

Why use bromobutyl rubber for tyres?

\n

Contemporary radial tyres contain bromobutyl rubber that is found in the inner lining, used to hold the tyres\u2019 air. This lining prevents air from entering the tyre\u2019s structure and affecting the rubber.

\n

Thanks to its 100% polymeric structure, a bromobutyl polymer tyre has the lowest air permeability rate. This prolongs the tyre\u2019s product life cycle and increases drivers\u2019 and motorists\u2019 safety on the road by avoiding tyre failure. On top of that it offers many other benefits:

\n\n

Thanks to these features, bromobutyl rubber has become the material of choice in the automotive industry for\u00a0safe and reliable tyres.

\n

What is bromobutyl rubber?

\n

Bromobutyl rubber was developed in the 1940s and is derived from a combination of butyl rubber and bromine through a halogenation process.

Summer\u2019s here, conjuring up images of long days by the swimming pool. However, microorganisms, algae and bacteria love the nice weather and cool water as much as we do. So how can we effectively purify and disinfect water?

\n

 

\n

Sustainable water management

\n

Water is a precious resource. Sustainably managing water is one of today\u2019s greatest challenges.\u00a0Microorganisms, algae and bacteria can seriously threaten human health, the environment, and the safety and effectiveness of industrial processes.

\n

Bromine-based products can disinfect water from harmful contaminants very effectively.\u00a0Bromine dissociates in water by forming hypobromous acid (HBrO). This has powerful disinfectant properties, owing to its ability to kill the cells of many pathogens. It\u2019s effective against tough waterborne viruses, such as poliovirus and rotaviruses, as well as a wide spectrum of bacteria.

\n

Bromine is used in many essential industrial applications\u00a0to ensure clean water:

Microorganisms, algae, and bacteria can endanger the cooling system of power plants. They depend on brominated solutions to maintain the efficiency and safety of the plant.

\n

\n

Brewery pasteurizers

Decorative fountains, pools, and spas

\n

So, what about that trip to the swimming pool, or maybe a spa? Chlorine is a very common swimming-pool disinfectant used in residential and commercial pools. However, it can cause skin irritation and smells heavily. Chloramines can also\u00a0decompose and form a corrosive solution which may\u00a0attack\u00a0the underlying surfaces made out of steel. Here\u2019s where bromine comes to the rescue. Its goal is to counteract the negative effects of chlorine.

\n

Bromamines (a major byproduct of bromine pool chemistry) are less likely to become airborne. They don\u2019t gas off. Instead, they stay in liquid state, so they don\u2019t get inhaled by swimmers. Thus, bromine has less of a chemical odor than chlorine.

\n

Bromine is widely found in spas and hot tubs, as it remains\u00a0stable in hot water. Bromamines can attack and kill bacteria just about as effectively and quickly as free chlorine or free bromine. But you need less bromine than chlorine to sanitize a pool.

\n

Last but not least, bromine is very beneficial to people with naturally sensitive skin.
