To turn its plastic production sustainable, Lanxess AG has turned to circular economy based strategy. The objective is to ensure that throughout the production cycle, the raw materials used, lose the least value possible. The company is banking on the new ‘Durethan ECO polyamide’ product range to attain this goal. An alternative to the traditional linear economy, the circular economy improves competitiveness and resource efficiency. Future design, digital technology, preservation and extension of the produce, prioritisation of regenerative resources are few of the key elements to it. To make the quantum leap, Lanxess is using recycled raw materials in the production of its thermoplastic compounds and composites. Durethan ECOBKV30H2.0, ECOBKV35H2.0 and ECOBKV60XF are the most recent products developed in line with this strategy.
