💡 Meet Peter Schwarz: Championing Circularity and Collaboration 🤝 We’re excited to introduce Peter Schwarz, Head of Sustainability Technologies EP at Covestro and a key contributor to the Global Impact Coalition. Peter brings deep expertise and passion to his role, particularly in advancing polycarbonate recycling where he coordinates internal technology developments, monitors external technology options and evolves a strategic landscape. 🎥 In this short video, Peter shares: ➡️ His role at the Global Impact Coalition, where Peter is helping lead the way on our Automotive Plastics Circularity project. ➡️ Insights into the Automotive Plastics Circularity project, which aims to tackle the significant challenge of increasing recycling rates for End-of-Life Vehicle plastics. ➡️ His experience putting collaboration into practice with chemical industry peers from leading companies to create tangible sustainable impact. Why does Peter see collaboration as critical? "Sustainability is a societal task that can only be solved through a cooperative approach. Circularity cannot be created by singular players—it requires cooperation and common goals, while still leaving room for competition." 👨👩👧👦 As a father of two, sustainability is more than a professional responsibility for Peter—it’s a personal mission. "We only have this one planet, and we need to do our utmost to save it. I strongly believe it is possible, but it requires swift action!" At the Global Impact Coalition, Peter exemplifies the power of teamwork to deliver transformative impact, helping us build a more sustainable future for the chemical industry and beyond. 😊 Help us share a big THANK YOU to Peter for his dedication and collaboration on these critical topics. #Sustainability #CircularEconomy #Collaboration #ChemicalIndustry

Mechanical recycling for polyurethane (PU) insulation boards is no longer a vision — it's a reality! Together with our valued partner puren gmbh, we're transforming what was once waste into new, high-performance products through a groundbreaking closed-loop recycling process. By exclusively supplying our methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI) binder to our partner, we're driving innovation in the construction sector and advancing the #CircularEconomy. This partnership showcases the power of collaboration, innovation, and a shared commitment to sustainability in action. 🤝 Watch the video to see how we're turning ambition into achievement, or learn more here 👇 https://lnkd.in/e5h_FMEw #BetterBuildings #PUInsulation #MechanicalRecycling

We're excited to share our latest achievement in advancing the Circular Economy: In collaboration with Deloitte, we developed a monetization approach for sustainable products. This newly established, innovative framework has been validated through pilot projects and is scalable across various industries, demonstrating its versatility and potential impact.   We're honored that WirtschaftsWoche has recognized our project with Deloitte and this jointly developed framework. This acknowledgment underscores the significance of our work in driving sustainable business practices.   Our approach goes beyond simply selling circular products; it's about creating lasting value throughout the entire value chain. By integrating circular thinking into our business development, we're paving the way for a more sustainable and profitable future. We're committed to continually refining this framework, ensuring it remains at the forefront of circular economy innovation. Find out more: https://lnkd.in/efEBTdbd

In Europe, our historic buildings are both treasures and challenges. 🏛️ Many need better insulation, and the EU's focus on renovating these structures aligns with the Paris Climate Goals by prioritizing the 30 million most inefficient buildings. Polyurethane/polyisocyanurate (PUR/PIR) insulation can play a significant role in reducing energy loss and CO₂ emissions, helping to meet these ambitious goals. By implementing PUR/PIR insulation boards, we could achieve:  👉 A reduction of 33 million tons* of CO₂ annually by lowering energy consumption 👉 A decrease of 40 million tons* of CO₂ in the manufacturing process by using alternative feedstocks via the Mass Balance Approach Discover how #BetterBuildings can contribute to a more sustainable future 👉 https://lnkd.in/eDC5WzEW *Internally calculated by Covestro #CarbonReduction #RenovationWave #MaterialSolution #InsulationBoards
