Every Circle needs a Center:
Evonik Center for Circular Plastic Solutions
The circle is the symbol for a sustainable economy.
Although, establishing an efficient circular economy is a complex thing: every single step in the production cycle must be re-evaluated, supply chains must be reorganized, new materials are needed.
Specialty chemistry is a key technology when it comes to developing new production and recycling processes. We created the Evonik Center for Circular Plastic Solutions to bring you together directly and easily with the right people who will enable you to find the right way to circular economy: with technologies, expertise, and contacts. So that the plastics industry soon becomes a circle. Our team is looking forward to hearing from you!
LET’S START AT THE END: EVONIK’S GOAL IS TO DRIVE FORWARD THE TRANSFORMATION OF THE PLASTICS INDUSTRY INTO A CIRCULAR ECONOMY THAT RUNS SMOOTHLY.
Our motivation is the idea of a world where mineral oil can remain under the ground, where there is no plastic waste, but recycling instead, and where we can then use smartphones, earbuds, and our other favorite plastic products without feeling guilty. Big words. But they are not utopian. Because we have the knowledge and the position to move an entire industry.
A huge circle has formed around us. A circle of partners that covers the entire value chain: monomer producers, injection molders, OEMs, recycling plants, and everyone else in between.
THE VALUE CHAIN IS BECOMING A VALUE CYCLE – AND WE ARE ITS CENTRAL POINT
We supply them all with our chemical specialties. For polyurethane foams as well as car tires. For weather-resistant wind turbines with large rotor blades as well as for sports shoes. As a result, we are familiar with all areas and have an all-round view of the entire plastics industry and its needs.
We know how to cost-efficiently wash printing inks off old plastic packaging. We know what demands an OEM places on a recyclate or how it can be optimized for injection molding. We can neutralize the odors of plastic recyclates. And remove labels. And by the way, we are one of the leading manufacturers of high-quality plastics ourselves.
All this knowledge makes us the center of excellence for the circular economy: With expertise and creativity, we develop the specialty chemicals that open the door to plastic products having an infinite number of lives. And that makes sure our partners are that bit more efficient.
Become part of our mission and network. Because we can do it all faster together. Our team is looking forward to hearing from you!
