ISC3 is an international centre that fosters the transition of the chemical and chemical-related sectors to Sustainable Chemistry.
Chemicals are essential — but selling more volume shouldn’t be the goal.
🔄 Chemical Leasing shifts the focus from quantity to performance (e.g., items cleaned, m² coated, water purified), aligning incentives to reduce consumption & waste.
