Demonstrating "The Material Effect" in action, #Covestro announced its participation in the KOLLEKT research project — a publicly funded, interdisciplinary consortium dedicated to developing recyclable product concepts for automotive lighting, mechatronic and electronic components. The three-year project, funded by the German Federal Ministry for Research, Technology and Space (BMFTR) under the CircularGlowUp funding framework and supervised by the Karlsruhe Project Management Agency (PTKA), addresses one of the #automotive industry's most pressing challenges: how to keep materials in use longer, reduce resource consumption, and build genuinely circular value chains. #KOLLEKT brings together FORVIA HELLA as coordinator alongside partners BMW, Covestro, Geba, Fraunhofer IEM, Fraunhofer UMSICHT, the University of Paderborn, Hamm-Lippstadt University of Applied Sciences, the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR), and SW Maschinenservice. The project runs from June 2...

Plastic structures often need stronger protection against oxygen, aromas, oils, and solvents. Adding more material increases weight and thickness, without always delivering the required barrier performance. Meeting these demands starts with a thin functional layer designed for targeted protection. SOARNOL™ is an #ethylenevinylalcohol , or #EVOH , resin used within multilayer plastic structures. A thin layer adds #barrierperformance while surrounding materials provide moisture resistance, strength, and form. Its vinyl alcohol units create strong resistance to oxygen, gases, oils, and solvents. Its ethylene units support #moistureresistance and extrusion processing. Together, these properties deliver high barrier performance across a wide range of manufacturing methods. 𝗦𝗢𝗔𝗥𝗡𝗢𝗟™ 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘀: • 𝗖𝗼𝗲𝘅𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝗶𝗹𝗺𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝗵𝗲𝗲𝘁𝘀: Adds oxygen and aroma protection to multilayer structures. • 𝗕𝗹𝗼𝘄-𝗺𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀: Provides barrier perfor...

Researchers at Colorado State University have developed a process to transform naturally occurring and highly stable carbon dioxide into recyclable, high-performance materials that could replace today’s plastics in many situations. Their catalytic process, described in the journal Nature, is another step toward a circular economy that reduces plastic waste and supports environmental sustainability. The paper describes a closed-loop platform for producing a class of new materials from inexpensive carbon dioxide. The process uses a chemical reaction to combine carbon dioxide with a reactive molecule called bicycloalkane. An organic catalyst initiates this reaction to form new chemical bonds in the product structure. This results in durable and customizable synthetic plastics that are highly stable, meaning they can withstand stress from heat or attack from chemicals. The new material also features sought-after characteristics, such as high mechanical strength and flexibility. Crucially, ...
