Circularity & Climate Neutrality: Decarbonizing Products, Processes and Supply Chains

Climate change, population growth, unsustainable lifestyles – surmounting global challenges like these require embracing sustainability and the circular economy as a guiding light. A globally leading high-tech polymer manufacturer, Covestro has set a vision to be fully circular. Although the chemical industry has been an enabler for our modern, safe and sustainable life today, it also has to be transformed. In order to realize this transformation, the development of new technologies, materials and processes has gained increasing importance within the chemical industry. Covestro is exploring numerous opportunities including design for circularity, advanced recycling, mass balanced products and renewable energy solutions all of which will also help achieve their corporate goal to become climate neutral and achieve net zero emissions by 2035 for scope 1 and scope 2. In end, how is all of this possible? A key to help achieve climate neutrality and the circular economy is through strong partnerships and collaborations up and down the value chain as well as an innovative corporate culture.
