The construction industry is responsible for nearly 40% of global CO₂ emissions - a huge challenge, but also a tremendous opportunity. That's why we are partnering with industry leaders to create more energy-efficient and sustainable buildings. 💡 How? ✅ Smarter polyurethane (PU) foam façades to reduce heat loss ✅ Innovative insulation solutions for ceilings, windows, and doors ✅ More sustainable methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI) options to lower the carbon footprint ✅ Low-emission transport solutions that ensure sustainability throughout the supply chain And we're just getting started. Every project is an opportunity to innovate and build the #BetterBuildings of the future. Watch the video where our very own Sinan Dökmeci shares his insights on how we are driving sustainability in construction! 👇 👉 Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/eR27YcH7 #MaterialSolutions
