The three lifecycles of plastics
From our perspective, the circular economy in the plastics industry
consists of three cycles:
• Plastics production
• Plastics processing
• Plastics recycling
Our goal is to strengthen and continuously expand the third cycle. We want to maximize the value of products and components at the end of their life. The circular economy as an integrated approach is essential. For example, it considers the recyclability of products already in the design phase. For this, we are also focusing intensively on the digitalization of our systems and solutions – generally referred to as Industry 4.0.
