Euro Chlor

Euro Chlor supports a safe, sustainable and successful chlor-alkali industry for Europe. Chlorine, caustic soda/ potash and hydrogen (chlor-alkali) are essential building blocks for the manufacture of many of the products that we rely on every day. Across Europe, millions of jobs are dependent on the availability of competitively priced chlor-alkali supplies. Chlor-alkali chemistry is also vital for the development of the innovative materials that we will need in the future. Euro Chlor’s 38 producer members operate 62 manufacturing locations in 19 European countries, representing 97% of all European production capacity. Euro Chlor represents the interests of chlor-alkali producers in Europe, encourages best practices in safety, health and environmental protection, and promotes the economic and social benefits of chlor-alkali and the many industries that rely on it. Based in Brussels, Belgium, Euro Chlor is a sector group of Cefic (European Chemical Industry Council), which represents chemical companies across Europe, which directly provide 1.2 million jobs and account for 14.7% of world chemical production. Euro Chlor is a member of the World Chlorine Council, a global network of regional organizations that represents producers accounting for more than 80% of worldwide chlor-alkali production capacity.
