For instance, the CONSCIOUSLY DEEP system allows savings and reductions of up to 36% in process time, 64% in water consumption, 46% in energy consumption and 41% in CO2 emissions.

Visitors at the booth will also have the opportunity to discover The Safe Edge, an online platform launched by Archroma in September 2021 and allowing for instant access to product related regulatory & compliance certificates and information.
