Increase profitability and innovative strength - secure future viability with a circular economy

Chemicals

The chemical industry is facing serious challenges. Competitive pressure is demanding rapid organizational changes. Customer orientation is becoming increasingly important, while business models are changing. A balance needs to be struck between efficiency and the pressure to innovate. In addition, the consideration of sustainable practices, in particular the circular economy, is becoming more of a priority. Only if circular economy approaches are integrated into the core activities of chemical companies, can they ensure their future viability. Another important step towards sustainability is the industry's willingness to embrace new forms of collaboration with different stakeholders. This means joining forces with government, environmental organizations, customers and other stakeholders to develop joint solutions that include the entire value chain. Finally, harmonizing standards is of great importance to facilitate the introduction of circular practices on an international level. Uniform standards and regulations can promote global trade in sustainable chemical products and support the industry on its path to sustainability.
