In terms of its impact on the environment, Holliday Pigments’ ultramarine has minimal effect. Its raw material is predominantly natural clay, quarried in the UK. We are determined to help ensure that when such sites are exhausted, they are ‘returned to nature’ in ways which benefit both wildlife and people. |
We remain the only ultramarine producer in the world to have invested in flue gas de-sulphurisation to the extent that all relevant emissions regulations have been exceeded – at a cost of $25 million.
Ultramarine has an inherent ‘cradle to grave’ safety. For instance, our pigments - coming from naturally occurring clay, sodium carbonate and sulphur – can safely be used to colour code seeds and returned to the soil with impunity.
Holliday Pigments has a policy of product sustainability which involves every stage of our pigments’ lifecycle. From raw material to production, during use and final return to the environment as an inert clay, Holliday Pigments ultramarines are truly environmentally ‘friendly’. |
