Mercury-free production is a safer and more ecological method in the manufacturing of chemicals such as chlorine and caustic soda. Companies that receive this recognition do not use mercury or asbestos in their production technologies, which are hazardous substances to people and the environment. Instead, a more modern and efficient technology is used that saves energy and does not cause harm.
LSQA is the organization responsible for ensuring that companies follow the rules and do not use mercury in their manufacturing processes. This is important because there are international laws requiring the elimination of mercury use in these processes by 2025. By certifying companies that comply with these standards, LSQA helps promote cleaner and safer practices in the chemical industry.
