Robinson Brothers feature in The Chemical Industry: Our Route to Net Zero Programme

Robinson Brothers is pleased to share the Chemical Industries Association (CIA) and ITN Productions programme – Our Route to Net Zero. Click on the link below to view this short programme featuring sustainability initiatives implemented at Robinson Brothers.

Robinson Brothers is committed to achieving net zero goals in chemical manufacturing. Energy efficiency has remained a core objective for the company for many years. “It is vital for us to preserve this world for the generations ahead. We have spent several years monitoring and assessing our operations to make improvements in efficiencies and energy reduction. Simple changes like reducing, replacing or entirely removing solvents from our processes would have a positive nudge towards our net zero goals” said Adrian Hanrahan, Managing Director at Robinson Brothers.

Achieving net zero requires multi-disciplinary action and a culture of continuous improvement. Process improvement groups at Robinson Brothers regularly review manufacturing processes to identify opportunities for solvent recycling &/or reduction. The company’s bespoke thermal oxidizer consumes waste solvents to generate steam used in manufacturing processes. This reduces the volume of gas consumed and reduces the carbon footprint.  Most packaging where appropriate is reused such as pallets and drums. This also adds to carbon footprint reduction. These are just a few of the initiatives Robinson Brothers has rolled out to achieve net zero goals.

In an interview, Steve Elliott, Chief Executive, CIA, said “the chemical sector and innovations in chemistry are at the heart of providing real solutions to combat climate change, so we are pleased to again have the opportunity to showcase some of the important initiatives our industry is undertaking. Now, more than ever is the time to be focusing on net zero because society increasingly and rightly expects it and we as a sector want to meet that expectation, to deliver a more sustainable future for everyone”.

However, there is no simple route to achieving net zero. Robinson Brothers faces challenges in balancing energy efficiency versus technical operations and the financial investment required. The company calls upon the government to support the cost and infrastructure of moving towards green manufacturing techniques and cleaner energy. State support and funding streams would enable manufacturers like Robinson Brothers to make the transition to low-carbon economies.
