Crude-to-Chemicals: An Opportunity or Threat?

Current discussions about addressing the climate crisis generally focus on decarbonization related to the use of fossil fuel primarily in the energy and transportation sectors.

In recent years there has been a legislative drive for companies to substitute hazardous chemicals in their products and supply chain with safer alternatives. In REACH, the European wide chemical legislation, substances of very high concern SVHCs are identified, restricted and banned in due course.

ACF Environmental is proud to present ACE XP Polymer Fiber. ACE XP is a hot and warm mix asphalt additive which adds strength while improving both the cracking and the rutting resistance of typical asphalt pavement. Millions of Aramid Fibers are added to every ton of Asphalt. This is a 90 minute Webinar including Questions and Answers from the participants during and after the presentation.

During this webinar, we will look at the product supply chain, and whether simply complying with regulations is sufficient in order to appropriately manage an emergency incident involving your products (from major to minor incidents). The webinar will look at the drivers for putting in place robust emergency response arrangements (regulatory, risk management, alignment with sustainability) and the impact of an incident on the business (both in terms of direct and indirect costs, as well as the impact on the organisations reputation). This would also look at ‘what good looks like’ for initial response and advice provision, as well as notification and activation of corporate response and crisis management. In the webinar, our chemical supply chain experts will also explore how, as a proactive organisation, you can deliver operational excellence and use guidelines, such as those from CEFIC, to measure current performance and identify opportunities for potential improvements. We have recieved calls from real life incidents, which we will use as case studies to illustrate examples of a proactive organization. Finally, we will briefly discuss the impact of political changes, such as Brexit, on emergency response.
