Drop-in solutions with good sustainability profile
Celanese reports that it uses CCU-based chemical building blocks to turn CO2 emissions into high-performance POM polymer that offers both reduced product carbon footprint (PCF) as well as a high percentage of circular content. POM ECO-C solutions are drop-in choices that enable Aisan to offer more sustainable components without sacrificing performance and helps automakers work towards sustainability goals with solutions that are both practical and impactful.
“Celanese can uniquely turn waste CO2 into a high-performance polymer, helping customers meet sustainability goals,” said Todd Elliott, senior vice president, Celanese Engineered Materials. “POM ECO-C turns technology into practical solutions while maintaining performance and quality, and without requiring changes to existing designs or production processes.”
Celanese continues to advance materials and technologies that help reduce environmental impact and support progress toward carbon neutrality and more sustainable manufacturing. Its mass-balance based CCU platform is especially significant in supporting both ends of the integrated Celanese value chain by providing low-carbon feedstocks for ECO-C products across the Acetyl Chain and Engineered Materials businesses for customers seeking more sustainable solutions.
