Iranpolymer/Baspar Covestro will showcase its latest advancements in sustainability and circular economy solutions at this year’s Fakuma. The company will feature a range of materials and technologies designed for automotive, electronics, consumer goods, and textile applications, all aimed at reducing environmental impact and promoting circularity.
Key exhibits at Covestro’s booth will include materials such as Makrolon and Makrofol, which offer both functionality and sustainability. One highlight is an innovative automotive frontend design that combines looks and functionality while also incorporating electronics. These same materials can be used for nearly monomaterial electronic displays, which are ideal for smart surfaces in vehicles, kitchens, and consumer electronics. One of the showcased demonstrators features in-mold printed electronic circuits, a clear example of how performance and sustainability can go hand in hand.
Additionally, Covestro’s recent partnership with Neste and Borealis will be prominently featured. This collaboration focuses on the closed-loop recycling of old tires into transparent polycarbonates, which are suitable for automotive components like car headlamps. This project showcases the circularity potential of the Makrolon RP product range, which incorporates chemically recycled raw materials through the mass balance methodology.
