Performance Polymers
Welcome to our plastics journey @ NPE2024!
We create chemistry for a sustainable future is more than just a tagline for us. Through sustainable innovation and co-creation with our partners along the value chain, we aim to advance plastics in the circular economy. We want you to join us on this journey and look forward to seeing you at NPE!
How do we MAKE, USE and RECYCLE the solutions of future?
MAKE
The MAKE phase is about improving how plastics are made - from product design to the choice of raw materials and manufacturing process itself.
USE
In the USE phase, plastics play out all their strengths: by improving energy efficiency through their lightweight, by prolonging product lifecycles thanks to their robustness and peak performance, and by enabling more sustainble applications.
RECYCLE
Finally, the crucial question is what happens to plastics at the end of their life. To achieve a circular economy, we need to get much better at the recycling of plastics to close the loop.
