This episode is the second part of a general overview about the most important categories of chemicals for ceramic prodution and their positive role in terms of environmental impact. The perspective wants to scratch - with a deliberately provocatory approach - the idea that chemistry cannot provide, by nature, any environmental benefit. Actually, if we addressed the subject by using a "magnifiying glass", we would notice that the use of chemicals often allows you to avoid making choices that could be much more impactful. The challenge is to change perspective, trying to look at the scenario with a different approach, without taking anything for granted.
