Comment

Abstract

Some strong words were recently given by Sachtleben Chemie, the German Federal Minister of the Environment and the German press in regard to Britain and France dumping acid waste from titanium dioxide production into the North Sea. The occasion was the official opening of the new waste acid recycling plant at Sachtleben Chemie's Duisburg‐Homberg titanium dioxide production plant. As the Germans claim that no waste acid at all is now dumped by them into the North Sea, it means that UK and French producers have a two and a half year price advantage until they too are forced to comply with EEC regulations in mid 1992. However, it would appear from their comments that Sachtleben, and also Kronos Titan, will not easily forget this! Can we blame them?
