Reducing waste

We dispose of chemical waste responsibly, so that we can all enjoy a more colourful world.

Obsolete goods are a major contributor to chemical waste at Jotun. We therefore continuously work on how to rework and dispose in a more environmentally-friendly way than just scrapping them.
Jotun recognises sustainability as a long-term competitive advantage.
