Makrolon®RE enables significant reduction of CO₂ footprint

How could a more sustainable future look like? Let’s use alternative raw materials that do not only come from fossil resources but take renewable raw materials and energy into account in the manufacturing process. That’s how we develop particularly more sustainable plastics – climate neutral* and following the principles of circular economy.
