Clariant achieves a further milestone in the manufacture of second-generation bioethanol
Muttenz, June 3, 2013 - Clariant, a world leader in specialty chemicals, is demonstrating the international potential of its process for manufacturing sustainable biofuel through the expansion of sunliquid® technology to further agricultural residues. Following the opening of Germany’s largest demonstration plant for manufacturing ethanol from agricultural residues in July 2012, the company now has new findings, which show that corn stover, the most valuable raw material in North America, and sugarcane bagasse, a cellulose-rich by-product of sugar and ethanol production in Latin America and Asia, can also be converted efficiently in the process. European wheat straw has primarily been used to date, and has delivered good results that have even exceeded the expectations of the process developers in some aspects.

Clariant forecasts fashions and colors full of contrast for Autumn/Winter 2014-15
Muttenz, May 27, 2013 - Clariant, a world leader in specialty chemicals, has launched its new Global Color Card and Fashion up! Trend booklet showing for Autumn/Winter 2014-15 fashion and color themes full of contrasts. The simplicity of modern urban life contrasts with the rebirth of an opulent empire style; the down-to-earth life of Victorian industrial workers contrasts with an overworldly view of the cosmos. The color groups, too, selected in close cooperation with Modeurop, the Fashion Pool at DSI (Deutsches Schuhinstitut GmbH), contrast - from lightness over intensity to darkness, though they can be combined homogeneously within the respective color groups. The Fashion up! Trend booklet illustrates actual leather samples which were developed during an international trend workshop and which helps Clariant's customers to create their own collections.
