Yesterday, we celebrated: our toluene diisocyanate (TDI) plant in Dormagen is now more energy-efficient than ever using 80% less energy than conventional processes and saving 22,000 tons of CO₂ per year! 🌍 That means our customers can benefit from an improved carbon footprint in their flexible foam applications: from mattresses and upholstery to automotive seating. But we're not stopping here! Yesterday, at the official launch event in Dormagen, we also announced our new global energy efficiency goal: By 2030, we aim to reduce CO₂ emissions per ton of product by 20%, reinforcing our commitment to climate neutrality by 2035. What does this mean for our customers? ✔️ More sustainable products - lower CO₂ footprint for TDI-based applications ✔️ Increased supply security - significant investment into European production ✔️ Shared progress - together, we're shaping a more sustainable future Investing in efficiency means investing into the future: for our customers, our industries and the planet. 🤝 👉 Read more here: https://lnkd.in/eUdZ-dG3 #BetterMattress #BetterAutoSeats

Sustainable upgrade for our TDI production! We have successfully completed the modernization of our TDI plant in Dormagen, the largest TDI plant in Europe. A major step towards greater sustainability and energy efficiency: 🔹Up to 80% less energy consumption compared to conventional production processes 🔹An annual CO₂ saving of 22,000 tons This improvement is enabled by a new reactor with HPG technology, which cleverly uses the resulting reaction energy to generate steam. We are delighted that NRW Environment Minister Oliver Krischer and the Director of Agora Industrie Julia Metz, together with our CTO Thorsten Dreier, were guests at the official inauguration of the plant in Dormagen today. Many thanks for the visit and congratulations also to our great team for the successful modernization👏 👉 https://lnkd.in/eC399vcA

📢 Live aus unserem Werk in Dormagen! Wir diskutieren mit ▶ Oliver Krischer, Ministerium für Umwelt, Naturschutz und Verkehr des Landes NRW ▶ Julia Metz, Direktorin Agora Energiewende und ▶ Thorsten Dreier, Chief Technology Officer Covestro darüber, wie und warum eine klimaneutrale Industrie nur mit Energie-Effizienz zu erreichen ist. Seid live online dabei, wenn Politik, Wirtschaft und Wissenschaft Perspektiven zu dieser zentralen Zukunftsfrage austauschen. 📅 Donnerstag, 20.

Smarter, faster, and more sustainable: The next wave of Coatings & Adhesives is happening! To meet these challenges, we’re developing #MaterialSolutions that enable faster formulation development and enhanced lifecycle transparency. ♻ At European Coatings Show 2025, we’re highlighting our latest innovations. Just a few examples: An automated laboratory revolutionizing formulation testing, cloud-based lifecycle analyses (LCA) that helps reduce CO2 footprints, plus our Direct Coating technology with which we’re streamlining automotive coating processes, eliminating energy-intensive steps for a more efficient, sustainable approach. 📍 Visit us at Hall 4A, Booth 438 in Nuremberg from March 25–27 to see how these technologies can transform your coatings and adhesives applications. 👉 Read more here: https://lnkd.in/eC3HygX8. #StatusNext

LyondellBasell and we have jointly decided to permanently close the Propylene Oxide / Styrene Monomer (POSM) production unit (PO11) at the Maasvlakte site in the Netherlands, which we operated as a joint venture. This decision comes after thorough consideration and is driven by the continued pressure on Maasvlakte's profitability due to global overcapacities, a strong increase in imports from Asia and high European production costs. Our commitment to the European market remains unchanged: We continue to supply polyether polyols, and strive to position Covestro as a reliable partner, operating competitively in a challenging market environment. 💡 ℹ Read more here: https://lnkd.in/eSDqP_dj

Virtual prototyping is shaping the future of the automotive industry, but digital material twins often fall short of fully replicating real-world behavior. 💡 The challenge lies in the limitations of physics simulations, the precision of material data and the increasing complexity of materials - factors that impact accuracy and reliability. Traditional visualization tools struggle to bridge this gap. Time for an innovation! 🚀 At PIAE - Plastics in Automotive Engineering 2025, our very own expert Tobias Rausch will share how Imagio® solves these challenges by enabling more precise, physics-based material visualization. 📅 Join us on March 26 at 5 PM to discover how we bring digital materials to life! 👉 Read more here: https://lnkd.in/eePN_5uk #MaterialScience #AutomotiveEngineering #PIAE2025

It’s World Sleep Day – time to give our sleep health some extra love! 🛏️ Quality sleep is essential for our well-being, boosting mental and physical energy while supporting our immune system.
