  • Empowering the next generation on Future Day 2025! 👩🔬👨🔧 #Zukunftstag – Germany’s nationwide Future Day – is an annual initiative that gives school students the chance to explore various career paths and gain real-world insights into working life. It’s all about discovering new professions, breaking stereotypes, and inspiring future talents. All our CHT Germany sites all took part in this inspiring initiative – here are some impressions from our plant in Oyten - Lower Saxony! 🧬 On April 3rd, nine curious students visited our site to discover the many exciting occupational activities within our company. After a warm welcome and safety briefing, they explored our administration, production and logistics areas, where they completed practical tasks like soldering and assembling boxes with hazardous goods labels 📦⚠️ – well guided by our skilled team. 🧪 In our labs, the students created gummy bear models using two-component silicone – with expert insights from CHT’s @Sven Oliver Angersbach on the chemistry behind the process. 🎁 The day wrapped up with a feedback session, certificates, and a selection of corporate giveaways as a memory of their experience at CHT Group. 👏 A big thank you to everyone who made this day a success. We’re already looking forward to the next Future Day! We wish all participating students the very best for their future education. 🎉 #smartchemistry #boysday #girlsday #chemistrycareer #futureday #education #chemistry #jobs

Most of this waste ends up in landfills or is incinerated.    Waste pollution is a threat to human health, leads to economic costs and has a negative impact on our planet (e.g. greenhouse gas emissions, water pollution, loss of land and biodiversity). At CHT Group, we are committed to providing sustainable chemical solutions for the textile industry that increases Right First Time and efficient processing as well as improvement of textile longevity.   CHT innovation power also supports the textile industry with the development of products and solutions that supports a recycleable product design.

  • #WWD25 | World Water Day 2025 💧 This year’s theme of World Water Day is "Glacier Preservation". ❄️ Glaciers are vital to life - their meltwater is, for example, essential for drinking water, clean energy production, and healthy ecosystems. But due to climate change, glaciers are melting faster than ever, with profound consequences for #people and the #planet. Check unwater.org for exciting but alerting info ▶️ https://lnkd.in/dz6k9hjc And again, we end up with the same indispensable necessity. Reducing global greenhouse gas emissions is a key element in mitigating global warming and therefore protecting glaciers. ⛔️ At CHT Group, we take climate protection seriously. That's why we committed ourselves to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Our defined short- and long-term climate targets have been validated by SBTi. 🏭 But still, our way to Net-Zero until 2045 will be challenging for us and our business partners along our value chain. Are you ready to drive change without compromises. We are! #WorldWaterDay #WaterConservation #Climatechange #GlacierPreservation #EveryDropCounts #smartchemistry

    Today’s Global Recycling Day ♻️ is a reminder that too many resources are still used linearly, and that #recycling is an essential part of achieving a circular economy that can save resources and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. 🌍 CHT Group is aware of its responsibility regarding the use of resources and the reduction of GHG emissions within its own production processes, but also along the entire value chain. That is why we attach great importance to recycling material, since it helps us to: ✔️ reduce our waste generation ✔️ increase the use of recycled and secondary raw materials in our products ✔️ promote our excellent products, based on recycled raw materials: for example TUBINGAL RISE, with which CHT has successfully introduced the first textile softener based on recycled silicones and emulsifiers from renewable raw materials to the market Achieving a circular economy still has a challenging way to go, but at CHT Group we support that direction with full force and have therefore integrated circular economy as part of our corporate strategy. 🌟 #REDUCE #REUSE #RECYCLE #REPAIR- Make a difference together with CHT Group.   #recycling #circulareconomy #wastereduction #carbonemissions #saveressources #people #planet #profit
