Marl/Germany – Since July 1, 2025, Evonik’s Coating & Adhesive Resins business line has been using green electricity for its polybutadiene production in Marl, Germany. This initiative is part of Evonik’s sustainability strategy aimed at achieving its environmental goals for 2030, which include a 25 % reduction in scope 1 and 2 emissions from 2021 to 2030.

“We are excited to help our customers make their products more sustainable on the path to Net Zero,” said Saskia Jaworski, Sustainability Business Manager for Polyvest. “For us, a reduced CO2 footprint is a true added value for the product.”

The decision to transition production at both Polyvest facilities to green electricity marks another milestone in the company’s journey toward greater sustainability in Polyvest production. In recent years, all Polyvest product grades have been gradually introduced to the market as eco variants, which are mass-balanced products certified under the ISCC Plus certification.
