Year of Glass

Incomparably versatile: Glass moves the world

Windows, displays, drinking glasses, or lasers - glass is everywhere and is often unrecognized in many applications without which our modern society would not be possible. Reason enough for the UN to declare 2022 the Year of Glass worldwide to honor the scientific, economic, and cultural significance of this unique material. Heraeus has also focused on glass for more than 120 years. Today, several of our Global Business Units are driving the expansion of its applications in many fields.

From biomass to green chemistry

From biomass to green chemistry

At present, petroleum is still the basis for most products in the chemical industry, such as plastics or pharmaceuticals. Because of climate change, there is a need for the industry to make biomass usable as a raw material. Therefore, experts research methods to convert biomass into basic chemicals. One source for this can be lignin – a substance from trees and shrubs. Heraeus Precious Metals has developed catalysts that make lignin usable as a raw material for bio-based chemicals.

Discover the potential of lignin for green chemistry through precious metal catalysts from Heraeus.
