Despite these challenges, importers of titanium dioxide have a unique opportunity to drive innovation and sustainability in their industries. By collaborating with producers and end-users, importers can help develop more efficient production processes and responsible sourcing practices. They can also facilitate the adoption of alternative technologies and materials that reduce the environmental impact of titanium dioxide production and use.
