Mumbai, 2016, Lanxess India Private Limited, a fully owned subsidiary of Lanxess AG, a global specialty chemicals company, has been acknowledged for its exceptional work for Responsible Care and Efficient Waste Management for the year 2015.

In a felicitation event held in Mumbai on 30th September, 2016, Lanxess India was conferred with two awards – ICC Aditya Birla Award For Best Responsible Care Committed Company and ICC Certificate of Merit for Efficient Waste Management. Dr. Jacques Perez, Managing Director and Country Representative, received the award on behalf of Lanxess India in the presence of other dignitaries from the chemical industry at a gala event.

Speaking on the occasion, Dr Perez said, “We thank the ICC jury for recognising the continued and sustained efforts of Lanxess India in offering products and solutions to address global megatrend challenges while contributing positively to the environment and society. Receiving such a prestigious award also reflects our commitment to Responsible Care.”

The ICC Certificate of Merit for Efficient Waste Management was awarded as the company’s production processes are well integrated in a manner such that several by-products in the product chain are fed back as raw materials for production of other compounds.

Lanxess waste water post treatment plant, which deploys RO membranes, evaporation and condensation is a perfect example of its commitment towards efficient waste management. Waste water minimization is achieved with recovery and reuse of the waste water leading to zero discharge at its plant in Nagda, Madhya Pradesh.
