Colorful packaging poses a challenge for recycling. Evonik has developed a deinking solution that starts with the printing inks themselves and has now been recognized with the German Packaging Award 2026 in the “Sustainability” category. In the video, Christian Schirrmacher explains how it works.
Hydrogen
A Fine Advantage
Green hydrogen is seen as a great hope for the energy sector in the future. A team from Evonik has put a pilot plant into operation in which new high-performance membranes for water electrolysis are now being produced on a large scale. These hold the key to more cost-efficient production of green hydrogen, which industry needs as a building block for decarbonization, and for energy independence as well
Circularity
Cracked Plastic
More plastic is to be recycled worldwide. Pyrolysis, which is the liquefaction of plastic waste, creates new possibilities here. Evonik offers additives and technologies that improve the quality of pyrolysis oil in a manner that makes it suitable for the production of polymers

Bonded – Until You Say So
