Tire Test

More than half of all vehicle tires worldwide are eventually disposed of in landfills or incinerated. However, it would be much better if the old rubber could be reused in road construction. Special additives make the resulting asphalt more durable and environmentally friendly. A life cycle assessment confirms this with data

A NATURAL TALENT

For a long time, lignin was considered a waste product of cellulose production. This wood component was mainly burnt to generate energy. However, this natural raw material holds hidden talents—as a component of high performance polymers.

Evonik researcher Jutta Malter and her team are working on efficient processes for PET recycling.
Circularity

Long live plastic

Chemical recycling can recover even plastics that previ- ously would have landed in an incineration plant or a landfill, depending on the country. Evonik is working to develop a process for very dirty PET—and is making it possible to recycle entirely new material flows

New Zealand: Cloudwarriors

Welcome to Aotearoa! In the language of New Zealand’s original inhabitants, the Māori, this name means “the land of the long white cloud”— a reference to a special cloud formation that is said to have guided Polynesian seafarers here a long time ago. This island group in the Pacific Ocean features a breathtaking natural environment that has a spiritual meaning for the Maōri and also shapes the country’s economy.

France: Knowing what's good

The lifestyle in France is often referred to as “savoir-vivre.” But France has even more to offer besides fine cuisine, exquisite fashion, and great art. Evonik’s operations in France are similarly multifaceted. They range from innovations in the field of healthcare to the production of natural skin products, developments for the petroleum industry, and more sustainable solutions for future-oriented sectors.
