Sustainable solutions

For an automotive industry working hard on sustainability, tires play a key role. Up to 90% of a tire’s environmental impact happens during the use phase through fuel consumption and the associated exhaust gases. To be truly sustainable, automotive component solutions must enable more efficient tires that lead to less fuel consumption in ICE’s and increase battery mileage in electric vehicles. That is where Twaron® comes in.

Hydrogen is playing an increasingly significant role in the global transition to sustainable energy. Unlike standard oil and gas pipelines, hydrogen pipes must be able to withstand extremely high levels of pressure of long distances. Reinforced thermoplastic pipe (RTP) made with Twaron® offers a great solution.

With growing pressure on the aviation sector to reduce emissions, the materials used in air freight containers can help carriers to fly lighter, saving energy and reducing emissions. With their excellent strength-to-weight ratio, aramids, and our high-performance UHMWPE material Endumax® offer a sustainable alternative to traditional container materials such as steel and aluminum.

Aquaculture faces large environmental challenges. The plastic used in aquaculture equipment is often ill-equipped to deal with harsh offshore conditions, causing it to break or degrade. We work with equipment suppliers to develop greener, more efficient aquaculture solutions.
