Event Summary

The Lubricants Sustainability Forum 2023 focused on driving sustainability and innovation in the lubricants industry, addressing regulatory compliance, raw material challenges, and decarbonisation strategies. Key topics included the EU Chemicals Strategy for Sustainability, REACH revision, PFAS restrictions, and the role of EU Ecolabels in achieving measurable sustainability. Participants explored biobased and synthetic alternatives for base oils, next-generation additives, water-soluble lubricants, and tribology-based efficiency improvements. Case studies and LCA analyses highlighted approaches for measuring and reducing the carbon footprint of lubricants across industrial applications, supporting the transition from internal combustion engines to electric vehicles, and enabling heavy industry decarbonisation. The forum also addressed challenges in avoiding greenwashing and ensuring credible sustainability claims.
