purity salt (NaCl) is a basic raw material used in the production of polycarbonate. Implementation of the Brine Recovery project enables the re-use of about 73 percent of the salt, significantly reducing the amount of virgin material required. The energy savings and the resulting CO2 reductions are primarily achieved through a reduced need for salt volume (mined via energy-intensive processes) and related transportation by boat and truck to the site, according to alatest report carried by SABIC's web-site.
