Clariant additives for plastics - For a greater between

Progressing circularity, the bio-economy, climate protection – these top priorities for the plastics industry are ours too. At K 2022 discover how we’re partnering up on the challenges of closing plastic and packaging cycles, reducing carbon footprint and emissions, and encouraging responsible resource consumption.

Our additive solutions not only bring greater chemistry to plastics, they’re the innovative “between” helping value chains to solve challenges, hit sustainability targets and drive change. Their ability to enable higher-performing materials connects us and our customers, people and the planet, on the path to creating plastics destined for reuse and multi-loop recycling, not waste. Sustainable bio-based products open opportunities for low carbon footprint alternatives in more and more areas. While technologies fundamental to CO₂ and resource-use reduction, like e-mobility, renewable energies, and even efficient home appliances, can become safer and sustainable too.

Meet us at K to discuss how we can help you accelerate sustainable plastics:

Our steps to deliver sustainable additives
Innovation to advance viable recycling, improve product circularity, and support the bio-economy
EcoCircle collaborations and ongoing partnerships unlocking positive impacts and ending plastic waste

BU Additives' solutions are not only in greater chemistry, but also in the between. They are the invisible helpers that perform important functions between other ingredients and create new, better compounds. Between chemical elements. Between us and the customers and between people and planet.

Unique value chain collaboration “Design4Circularity” achieves first circular cosmetics packaging concept

Moving circular plastic packaging forward. In a first and unique collaboration for the Personal Care industry, Clariant, Siegwerk, Borealis, and Beiersdorf are combining expertise to tackle the challenge of creating recyclable consumer packaging, based on 100% retrieved plastic packaging waste, for cosmetics applications. The pioneering initiative, named "Design4Circularity", is providing innovations and insights for the different design aspects to encourage others to also follow design for circularity principles.
