We have been working on formulation optimisation and efficiency to reduce the overall carbon footprint of the products. This essentially means reducing high emission contributing raw materials through multiple formulations and process innovations.
For example, the rutile grade of titanium dioxide is a key contributor to the cradle-to-gate product carbon footprint. Over the years, we have focussed on improving the scattering efficiency of the rutile. Similar initiatives were undertaken for other raw materials as well. All these efforts helped us to reduce 20,390 tCO2 e in FY 2022-23.
