Solvay launches bio-circular silica in Europe, plans for North America
Solvay is investing at its Livorno site in Italy to launch the company’s first circular highly dispersible silica (HDS), a product derived from rice husk ash. Production should begin by the end of 2024 and circular HDS will gradually replace the existing Zeosil portfolio. Tyre maker Continental is a key partner in Solvay’s journey to bring HDS to market.
