The world’s fastest windsurfer, Antoine Albeau, aims to bring the speed record for wind‑powered watercraft back to the windsurfing community. To do that, he needs to reach 122 kilometers per hour. His board is built entirely from reusable materials — and at its core: Evonik’s Rohacryl.
Circularity
Bonded – Until You Say So
Adhesives are designed to hold – but ideally, they should also be removable when needed, as this is the only way to reuse the bonded parts. Evonik has a solution for this.
Implants
Biological Innovation in Breast Reconstruction
When women undergo breast cancer surgery, many opt for silicone implants afterward. In the future, structures made from the bioresorbable polymer Resomer could support natural healing and replace lost tissue through natural cell growth.
Circularity
As Good as New
It is impossible to imagine our world without plastic. In order to conserve fossil resources and reduce waste, the circular economy is bringing about a paradigm shift. Recycling is already being taken into account in the design and manufacture of new products. To speed up this process, Evonik is working with partners to develop new solutions. Its motto is “Design for Circularity”
