Dow, BASF Receive Green Chemistry Award

摘要

Dow Chemical and BASF are recipients of a 2010 Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge Award, for their jointly developed hydrogen peroxide to propylene oxide (HPPO) technology, the companies announced today. The award, which recognizes economically viable and sustainable technologies, has been presented annually since 1996. Dow has received the award seven times, and BASF four. "The EPA's recognition is a testimony to the power of innovation and collaboration that came together in this project," says Guillermo Novo, v.p./polyurethanes for Dow. "It will require more new technologies and partnering like this between companies, governments, NGOs and communities to secure our sustainable future."
