Catalysts Europe is the association of Catalyst manufacturer. Catalysts Europe is a non-profit organisation established in 1983 and dedicated to promoting the safe use and benefits of catalysts to society.
Catalyst plays a vital role in everyday life by making many products possible, improving process efficiency, reduced energy consumption and reduction of emissions and waste.
A major goal is to promote the safe use of catalysts over the whole life cycle including manufacture, installation and spent catalyst management including regeneration, recovery and disposal. Spent catalysts have been recycled for many years and have made a significant contribution to reducing waste and the circular economy. Dedicated catalyst regeneration companies are members of Catalysts Europe.
Catalyst market
The global catalyst market is estimated to be greater than EUR 25 billion and is growing due to increasing demand for the products made with catalysts. Improving air quality through catalytic emissions reducing technology combined with lower energy consumption by catalyst are also growing the market.
Specific tasks of Catalysts Europe
The steadily increasing number of chemical regulations and legislations is also affecting catalysts. Evaluating the impact of such regulatory obligations and speaking with one common understanding leads to a win win-situation for CE-members and regulators.
- REACH substance coordination
- Ensure the various REACH Registrations/Consortia take account of specific catalyst requirements
- Develop and maintain exposure scenarios and use maps
- Increase and improve the quality of exposure data for various catalyst substances to evaluate their potential risk and support their safe use
- Collecting and promoting catalyst handling best practices to limit exposure during loading and unloading operations
