Sustainable materials and products

We develop and scale sustainable materials, based on our unique expertise in material properties, combined with our laboratory expertise and modelling capabilities. This is crucial to meet the European policy targets of 50% circularity and 55% CO2 reduction in 2030, and full circularity and climate neutrality in 2050.
