City of Sustainnovation – Joining the Circular Economy

People are migrating to cities for more chances and better quality of life. For a more sustainable future, we need to adopt circular lifecycles. The City of Sustainnovation showcases how Covestro innovates with products and solutions inspired by sustainability that can help to enable a Circular Economy.

Bringing solutions for tomorrow into our everyday lives today

Booming cities worldwide are putting a strain on the environment and a drain on the earth’s limited resources. People increasingly seek out better lives in urban areas, so there’s an urgent need to create a new future-proof urban reality that’s based on circular economy principles. 

In this circular reality, material loops are closed and innovative products deliver higher performance and increased sustainability while meeting ever tougher industrial hygiene regulations. Digitalization offers new ways to enhance the customer experience, along with new production processes and business models. The City of Sustainnovation concept envisions how this more circular and digital urban future can be achieved. 

By 2025, 80% of research and development funds at Covestro will target areas that directly contribute to achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Three connected ‘neighborhoods’ give you ways to explore how innovative Covestro coating, adhesive and specialty material solutions support the SDGs. Covestro solutions are used beneath the surface but help meet the sustainability challenge, by working with partners across the value chain.
