Covestro and partners working on new climate-friendly process

摘要

CARBON dioxide is being used ever more widely as a novel raw material in plastics production. As part of the "Production Dreams" project, materials manufacturer Covestro is working with RWTH Aachen University and the Technical University of Berlin, both in Germany, on a further process that will enable the greenhouse gas to be used as well in the environmentally friendly manufacture of elastomers on an industrial scale. Elastomers are plastics that hold their shape but are elastically formable.
