Sustainability at Covestro

From linear to circular: Our vision to close the loop on a circular economy

We know that the global economy is currently dominated by the unsustainable linear economic model of “take, make, waste.” Our vision is to become fully circular, embedding circular economic principles into everything we do – tapping into used products as a resource, recycling along the value chain, exploring alternative raw materials and harnessing renewable energy.

We’re also striving for climate neutrality by 2035 – an ambitious goal that we’re already tackling through reductions in our greenhouse gas emissions, offering products in a climate neutral version and investing in innovation.

Learn more about how we'll get there:
