The demand for clean water is rising dramatically in the face of a growing worldwide population and increasing globalization. Already today, this valuable resource is scarce in many countries around the world and access to clean water is increasingly becoming a problem. LANXESS devoted 2010 to the megatrend “water” to highlight water issues, to this end launching various activities around the globe. To accompany its social involvement the company also employs its technical expertise in this area. This includes a voluntary commitment to handling this vital resource with care. State-of-the-art facilities and processes at the production sites reduce consumption in chemical production. With its innovative products too, LANXESS actively helps to solve the world's water problems. Lewatit® and Bayoxide® E 33, for instance, remove impurities from drinking water and make it palatable again. On top of that, seals for water pipes made from LANXESS special-purpose rubber make sure that not a single drop of the valuable resource is wasted on its way to the consumer.

For LANXESS, corporate responsibility also includes taking responsibility for the “blue gold”. The company’s specific expertise helps both industry and people directly. Through local projects LANXESS helps to safeguard the supply of clean drinking water to the population and sustainably improve their quality of life.
