    At this years\u2019 Fakuma from October 15 to 19, Covestro will showcase materials and solutions for automotive, electrics & electronics, consumer goods and textile applications that make the world brighter and ever more circular. The catch: Covestro will show exhibits that contain materials with mechanically and chemically recycled contents, as well as contents from biomass – either as components or attributed through the mass balance methodology. In Hall 4, Booth B4-4208, visitors are therefore invited to get in touch with Covestro\u2019s experts and discuss how to jointly materialize a circular economy.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

    Covestro’s recently announced partnership with Neste and Borealis will also have a spot at the Covestro booth. It showcases the closed-loop recycling of old tires into highly transparent polycarbonates that can be used in automotive components – like the one shown by Dr. Guido Naberfeld in the photo. \u00a9 Covestro<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

    \u201cOur products touch everyday life in thousands of applications, from cars to electronics to footwear. To accelerate circularity and sustainability we need to work closely with our customers and partners along the value chain on adopting alternative raw materials, renewable energy sources and recycling technologies\u201d, says Dr. Guido Naberfeld, Senior Vice President, Head of Sales and Market Development Mobility at Covestro<\/strong>. \u201cWe are excited to show some of our latest developments and projects and are eager to engage in discussions about them at this year\u2019s Fakuma.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

    The Fakuma in Friedrichshafen, Germany, is a leading annual international trade fair for plastics processing. Visitors of the Covestro booth will discover a set of exhibits ranging from Polycarbonates to Specialty Films to Thermoplastic Polyurethanes, demonstrating how sustainability and performance can go hand in hand across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Key exhibits include an innovative automotive frontend design that combines looks and functionality while also incorporating electronics. The materials used in the concept are Makrolon\u00ae and Makrofol\u00ae. The same materials can be used to create nearly monomaterial electronic displays, ideal for integration into smart surfaces in kitchens, vehicles and consumer electronics. One demonstrator, featuring in-mold printed elecontric circuits, will be exhibited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Covestro’s recently announced partnership with Neste and Borealis will also have a spot at the booth. It showcases the closed-loop recycling of old tires into highly transparent polycarbonates that can be used in automotive components, such as car headlamps. This innovation exemplifies circularity in the automotive industry through the Makrolon\u00ae RP product range, which uses chemically recycled raw materials, attributed via the mass balance approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Covestro in general aims to become increasingly circular and climate-neutral, with the goal of operational climate neutrality (Scopes 1 and 2) by 2035, and full climate neutrality by 2050. To make products that are advancing toward these goals easily identifiable, Covestro, besides RE or RP, also uses the \u201cCQ\u201d label. CQ stands for \u201cCircular Intelligence\u201d. CQ ecompasses, for example, products that contain at least 25% alternative, non-fossil raw materials, either as components or through the mass balance methodology. This helps to reduce their carbon footprint while contributing to circularity. Some of the abovementioned and more products can be seen at Fakuma.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
