Global number one in polycarbonate resins
Especially lightweight, highly transparent, break-proof and easy to shape, polycarbonate is used in many areas of modern life - from electronic and IT appliances to automotive parts to medical devices and LED lighting.

With the capacity expansion of the largest polycarbonate production site in the world, Covestro strengthens its global number one position in polycarbonate resins and intends to supply the volumes it needs to continuously outgrow industry. "We have grown our capacity share continuously in recent years and are committed to continue this path. This investment is one of the steps we do to secure the necessary supply", adds Michelle Jou.

At the same time, Covestro underscores its leading position in highly efficient and environmentally compatible technology by recycling process saltwater at the production site. This is used again to produce chlorine and sodium hydroxide, two chemicals that in turn are needed as raw materials for polycarbonates. "By using our innovative recycling process technology we safeguard our high level of cost efficiency", said Klaus Schäfer.
