The environmental behavior of our industry’s businesses and companies are becoming important due to carbon-neutral future, lower dependency to fossil resources and governmental regulations in the last decades. That’s reason there is a growing demand in the market for sustainable materials like renewable resources and recycle materials. Especially demand for recycled and bio materials are growing exponentially in automotive and house appliances. We are providing new solutions by generating efficient processes and respectable use of resources to reduce our ecological and carbon footprint. We have been creating links between different industries to provide with ecological friendly products and excellent quality of them. The sustainable products from renewable raw materials sources, industrial and consumer waste in our product portfolio are results of our respect to the environment and use of highest level of know-how in the plastics technology. This year, we start to work on sustainable materials with well-known OEMs. Our recycled material PA6 and PA66 with 30% Glass fiber grades start to take place in automotive approved material list in FCA We are also working new recycle developments which will be reduce more footprint of products which will be ready in 2022.
In 2021, We deeply focused on biomaterials due to market demand, regulations and our sustainable strategy.
