India (Commonweath Union)_ Emissions of greenhouse gases must be cut in half by 2030 and to zero by 2050 in order to maintain a habitable environment. Governments and corporations must take audacious, quick and comprehensive action. However, in industrialized countries, the engagement of citizens is also necessary for the transition to a low-carbon society. In several important sectors that promote the circular economy and climate neutrality, Covestro, a manufacturer of polyurethane and polycarbonate based raw materials, will showcase innovative products and materials at the plastics trade event, K 2022. The booth will transform into a workshop where the firm encourages clients, partners and other stakeholders to collaborate on ideas to address significant long-term concerns under the slogan ‘Crafting Connections with You’.
To advance the shared global goal of the circular economy and attain climate neutrality, plastics are a need. We want to draw attention to the enormous potential of these cutting-edge materials to address global issues and present promising advances, says CEO Dr. Markus Steilemann. “The event will be crucial in bringing together partners from the value chains and other industries. The current task is to make quick, significant progress in the direction of implementation.”
“We have set ourselves ambitious goals and intend to become carbon neutral by 2035 for CO2 emissions from our operations and renewable energy supply so that our customers may accomplish their climate and sustainability goals,” Chief Commercial Officer Sucheta Govil said. “We will work closely with them and a variety of other partners to accomplish this,” she added.
How can urban environments be made more sustainable without sacrificing what consumers want? In this section of the exhibition, Covestro offers responses to this query. More comfort and design flexibility, improved functionality, more circular and sustainable solutions, and energy-efficient living are the goals of the advancements that have been described. Arfinio, a ground-breaking manufacturing solution based on reaction injection molding (RIM) of aliphatic polyurethanes for furniture, bathroom fixtures, electronic parts, housings, and other applications, will be unveiled by Covestro and Arcesso Dynamics, a manufacturer of custom polyurethane parts, in 2022.
