Rockwood Pigments Uses Post-Industrial Recycled Content
For example, Rockwood Pigments uses 60% post-industrial recycled content to create synthetic red, yellow, orange, brown and black iron oxide pigments. Produced in regular, micronized and high-purity grades, these pigments enhance the aesthetic appeal and “green” profile of cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, plastics, rubber and food products.
