The path to decarbonisation and sustainability will be eased with an increase in efficiency and lesser use of energy. The Swiss Society of Cosmetic Chemists in cooperation with 2 research institutions and the Swiss Federal Office of Energy started in 2020 a project to examine 6 innovative Efficiency Concepts (EC) within three companies, one of them a large quantity producer, another known for its high value products and one OEM manufacturer.
