Sustainability

Circular feedstocks

As part of our efforts to achieve greater sustainability, we continuously check whether fossil and petrochemical resources can be replaced by renewable or recycling-based alternatives. When making our decisions, we take into account economic, environmental and social aspects as well as other important criteria such as security of supply and process and product safety.

We will continue to increase the volume of renewable and recycled feedstocks from sustainable sources which we already use as drop-in solution. In a challenging environment with limited availability of alternative raw materials, we still aim to process 250,000 metric tons of recycled and waste-based raw materials, such as pyrolysis oil from mixed plastic waste or end-of-life tires, in our production plants annually from 2025. The certified mass balance approach enables us to offer products with an allocated share of renewable or recycled feedstock. Customers can choose these products if they want to contribute to saving fossil resources and a lower carbon footprint. We also offer a bio-based portfolio, e.g. for personal care, nutrition or plastics.
