Covestro gears up to use recycled feedstock for MDI in Asia region

摘要

Shanghai, China - Covestro is to use benzene derived from recycled thermoplastics, oils and fats to make MDI for the Asian market. First, Neste will supply its Neste RE material to SK Geo Centric, which will convert this into benzene in Korea. Covestro will then convert the benzene in to MDI in Shanghai, China. Neste's RE is an ISCC certified product made from 100% renewable raw materials. It can be used to make MDI with significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions compared to traditional crude oil, Covestro said. This will shrink the carbon footprint of materials and products made from it along the value chain.
