GRIT wins European Responsible Care Award

5 November 2012

Akzo Nobel/GRIT have won this year’s European Responsible Care award, following the 2012 Responsible Care award by the Association of the Dutch Chemical Industry (VNCI). GRIT working with Dutch partner Akzo Nobel Industrial Chemical business developed DemytheÒLDD technology based on dimethyleter (DME). When used to remove water and grease from animal skins –which are important for the manufacture of leather goods and various foods– it makes the process far more sustainable and less environment friendly to health than more conventional methods.

Grit takes a step forward in the leather industry, along with his Dutch partner Akzo, with its project DeMythe ® LDD

2 May 2012

With this new project we continue to contribute to environmental improvement. • The project LDD DeMythe ®, a global pioneer, is a sustainable technology that offers degreasing, drying and obtaining proteins for food, through a closed loop, any kind of animal skin. • This technology uses closed-loop DME as solvent extraction with a high degreasing, removing the water and fat from animal skins to low temperature. Once the process, the DME is separated from water and fat, and then is recycled. The recovery rate is> 99%. • The ultimate goal of this innovative project is to have less waste, high degreasing and drying, low power consumption, high final product quality and high efficiency at low cost.
