  Leading the Future of Sustainable Mobility at Solvay

  On the Italian shoreline, Solvay is writing a new chapter in Silica’s history. We have officially inaugurated Europe’s first bio-circular silica facility at our Livorno site - a major milestone in the transition to sustainable mobility. This new unit transforms rice husk ash (an agricultural byproduct) into highly dispersible silica (HDS) for energy-efficient tires. By skipping traditional, energy-intensive processes, we are: 📉 Reducing CO2 emissions by ~35% per ton. 🌾 Increasing recycled and renewable content for tire manufacturers by up to 15%. 🗺️Setting the blueprint for Solvay’s global circular silica strategy as we begin converting our sites worldwide to use ISCC® PLUS* certified materials. A tire is the only part of a car that touches the road. By evolving the chemistry behind it, we are helping the industry reach the target of 40% recycled and renewable content by 2030 and stay ahead of upcoming regulations, such as the EU's Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR). This is essential chemistry in motion.

  Empowering the Next Generation of Innovators

  ✨Chemistry is the secret engine of our daily lives, yet it is often hidden in textbooks. To keep that engine running, we need young pioneers with the courage to experiment, test, and discover. 🌍We celebrated World Environmental Education Day through our partnership with XperiLA. By bringing a mobile laboratory directly to schools, XperiLAB empowers 10,000 children every year to become active creators rather than passive observers. The method behind the magic lies in stepping away from textbooks and entering a hands-on environment where students master the essential scientific process: observe, hypothesize, experiment, and deduce. ⭐When you give a student the chance to create a new material or discover a new flavor, you put stars in their eyes. You are not just teaching a lesson. You are empowering future scientists and entrepreneurs who will innovate for a better life.

  Powering the Energy Transition: How Solvay Shapes the Future of Rare Earths

  Rare earths are the heart of the energy transition, but chemistry is the missing link. At the Future Minerals Forum in Riyadh, our Special Chem President An Nuyttens explained that the real challenge is not only extraction but the complex chemistry needed to purify these metals. The industry is shifting from simple resource recovery to localized mid stream processing. This is where Solvay leads, since our unique separation expertise supports integrated and transparent value chains from the mine to the magnet. By representing the Rare Earths field at #FMF2026, Solvay is helping shape the roadmap for a secure and sustainable supply chain that serves the global market.
