Evonik uses green electricity for POLYVEST production in Germany

“We are excited to help our customers make their products more sustainable on the path to Net Zero,” said Saskia Jaworski, Sustainability Business Manager for POLYVEST^®. “For us, a reduced CO₂ footprint is a true added value for the product.”

The decision to transition production at both POLYVEST facilities to green electricity marks another milestone in the company’s journey toward greater sustainability in production. In recent years, all of the product grades have been gradually introduced to the market as eCO variants, which are mass-balanced products certified under the ISCC Plus certification.

This initiative builds on Evonik's broader commitment to green electricity. Beginning in 2025, the company will activate several power purchase agreements (PPAs) to further its dedication to sustainable energy sourcing.

POLYVEST is a range of liquid polybutadienes with various chemical compositions. Due to their unique microstructure, all grades exhibit strong reactivity and can be used in a wide array of applications across the automotive, construction, and electronics industries.
