cardyon® brings CO₂ back into the value chain
cardyon® brings CO₂ back into the value chain while saving up to 20% crude oil. It broadens the raw material base beyond carbon and supports the circular economy through sustainable development.

With cardyon® Covestro is providing the industry with a more sustainable solution by using carbon dioxide, an industrial waste gas, as a new and useful raw material feedstock. It is also broadening its raw material base beyond fossil hydrocarbons and bio-based raw materials by bringing CO2 back into the value chain and helping to close the carbon loop.

“Covestro is committed to using carbon in a smart and sophisticated way, which benefits the environment and society.
By turning a greenhouse gas into a useful raw material for the plastics industry, our CO₂ technology opens up new horizons towards a more sustainable future. And, although this technology is not designed to solve the world’s global warming challenge it is still a step closer in the right direction.”
Dr. Stephanie Vogel, Sustainability Manager PUR / Covestro
