Make
We’re developing high-quality, high-performance plastics and additives that extend the life of products. We aim to make plastics of recycled and waste-based raw materials, and to make them with CO₂ neutral production.
Use
Plastics sometimes are the most sustianable material for applications, making modern life better and more comfortable. Changing how we use & reuse plastics can mean using them less, but it can also mean using plastics more sustainably.
Recycle
Together with partners, we create value from plastic waste with circular solutions. Our solutions cover the entire range including options for mechanical recycling, chemical recycling, organic recycling, and sorting plastics.
