TAKE A BREATH

Do we have to breathe air contaminants while driving?

WE LOVE:

Clean and fresh air…
…especially when driving in polluted metropolitan areas
or when travelling long distances by car

BUT DID YOU KNOW:

Up to 540,000 liters of air enter your car every hour with airborne pollutants
The filters used in car filters are not always designed to purify the airflow in a safe way

The Archroma Way to a Sustainable World: Safe, Efficient, Enhanced. It’s our nature.

1. SAFE – IT’S OUR NATURE TO PROTECT
A solid core: Our deeply rooted goal to protect people and our planet.
Safe to use, safe to release and also safe to wear.

2. EFFICIENT – IT’S OUR NATURE TO RETHINK SUSTAINABLE MANUFACTURING
Innovating application processes that minimize resources and maximize productivity, both in our and our customers’ manufacturing as well as by setting ourselves ambitious sustainability goals.

3. ENHANCED – IT’S OUR NATURE TO ADD ANOTHER LEVEL OF VALUE
Innovation is critical. With it, we create additional effects, functionalities and aesthetics and sustainable differentiation to bring additional value, helping consumers to achieve their goals, for a life enhanced.
