Larderello\u2019s A-Z: from Agriculture to ZHS<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Agriculture, you know all about.<\/p>\n

But ZHS?<\/p>\n

You\u2019re forgiven if you\u2019ve never heard of it. It stands for zinc hydroxystannate and Larderello is about to start making a lot more of it.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll be honest at this point: ZHS is not a new agrochemical. At FertiGlobal, our focus remains our founding mission: to reduce the use of harsh chemicals in agriculture, by developing bio-activating technologies and advanced crop nutrition solutions that boost plant natural defences and improve resilience to climate change and other adversities.<\/p>\n

Yet the overriding objective common to FertiGlobal and Larderello, as the sister operating units of SCL, is to build on over 200 years of chemical innovation by looking to new solutions \u2013 be those products or processes \u2013 that reduce environmental impact and increase safety.<\/p>\n

This is why ZHS is so important. It\u2019s from the important category of flame retardants \u2013 chemicals that, when added to other materials, slow down or inhibit the spread of fire. They\u2019re in widespread use \u2013 think of fabrics, construction materials, even aircraft interiors. All use flame retardants to either help prevent accidents, or to slow the further development of flames should a fire take hold.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

But in a parallel with agrochemicals, some of the earlier, more commonly used flame retardants are being phased out, as newer and safer products come to market. ZHS is one of those newer products: its non-toxic profile, ability to reduce smoke emissions and significant end-of-life environmental advantages (for example, it can be recycled without issue) have helped make it an \u2018in demand\u2019 chemical. It can be incorporated into a wide range of materials including important polymers (or plastics) such as PVC and nylon, including many of the plastics used in horticulture \u2013 for example in greenhouses.<\/p>\n

Larderello started to manufacture ZHS in 2011. Now, with increased demand for the chemical and the company\u2019s overall commitment to reduce its environmental footprint across every aspect of its operations \u2013 from production to end-use \u2013 the time has come to invest in a new plant that will not only double production capacity but also reduce the energy needed to produce every kilogram of ZHS.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s more, this commitment to greener technology, sustainable production and resource-efficiency qualifies the new plant as an Industry 5.0<\/a> project. In turn, that\u2019s meant we\u2019ve been granted a \u20ac6.5 million loan from UniCredit\u2019s Futuro Sostenibile Plus<\/a>, an initiative dedicated to companies that commit to improving their environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s also come with the backing of the Growth Guarantee from SACE<\/a>, the insurance-financial group owned by Italy\u2019s Ministry of Economy and Finance. Which, as SACE itself explains, \u2018elevates a company like SCL and contributes to our country\u2019s green and digital transition goals\u2019.<\/p>\n

For us at FertiGlobal, the ZHS news reaffirms to us \u2013 and we hope our customers too \u2013 the real commitment that underlines the FertiGlobal approach. Sustainability isn\u2019t just a veneer; it runs right through us, in everything we do.<\/p>\n

Take EnNuVi, for example. Awarded through the European LIFE programme, this is \u2013 literally \u2013 a roots-up technology aiming to change the environmental impact of agriculture on the environment, without compromising the demand for food and productivity. By rethinking our approach, we were able to create a brand-new formulation combining bioactive polyphenols with nutritive elements. Its effect? The triggering and control of plants\u2019 natural defences to counter biotic and abiotic stresses, all the while decreasing the use of pesticides, reducing water consumption, and improving on-farm resilience.<\/p>\n

Wherever there\u2019s an opportunity to reduce environmental impact, to make better use of resources, to make all our products human-centric \u2013 from flame-retardants to farming, we\u2019ll do it.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
