Danish Novozymes a perfect match for China laundry sector

“If all 3 million tons of detergent used in China every year were optimized with enzymes, the CO2 saving would be 83,000 tons of CO2, equivalent to taking 35,000 cars off the road. Wastewater quality would also be improved because enzymes are used in much smaller quantities, so the water quality of 2.8 million m3 of water would be improved,” Per Falholt concluded.

And the potential is even greater. Imagine if Chinese consumers started heating the washwater to achieve the performance they want. This would have significant environmental implications. With enzymes, this scenario can be avoided, as enzymes can deliver the desired performance at the current low temperatures, thus saving 5 million tons of CO2. This would be equivalent to taking 2.1 million cars off the road – or almost half the cars in Beijing.
 
Use of enzymes in detergents also complements China’s 12th Five-Year Plan. The Chinese government is focusing on resource efficiency and lowering CO2 emissions, and the plan encourages compact and liquid detergents. The use of enzymes in detergents will help China achieve these goals, while at the same time providing the potential for increased detergent cleaning performance for consumers.
