Resumen de TiO2 World Summit 2014: : Dawn of a new era in TiO2
"Investment in process innovation can create innovative products that disrupt the status quo," he told delegates. "Right now there is more innovation in replacing TiO[subscript]2 than there is within the [TiO[subscript]2 ] industry itself." "That's why we really need R&D to expand these opportunities," [Gerry Colamarino] said. "In terms of industry breakthroughs I don't want to say that innovation is dead, but the innovation pipeline is relatively bare in comparison to where it used to be." "We've pushed the boat out on grade development, so I don't think that's the answer. This is a production intensive industry, so that's where we need to focus R&D to bring those costs down - I'm not talking about just cost cutting, but innovation along the supply chain to come up with something new," Colmarino said.
