Evonik uses Green Electricity for POLYVEST® Production in Marl
Since July Evonik has been using green electricity for POLYVEST® production in Marl, Germany.
The initiative targets a 25% reduction in emissions by 2030 and supports sustainable product development.
POLYVEST® products are also available as ISCC Plus certified eCO variants.
Marl, Germany. Since July 1, 2025, Evonik’s Coating & Adhesive Resins business line has been using green electricity for its polybutadiene production in Marl, Germany. This initiative is part of Evonik’s sustainability strategy aimed at achieving its environmental goals for 2030, which include a 25% reduction in scope 1 and 2 emissions from 2021 to 2030.
“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 POLYVEST® production. In recent years, all POLYVEST® 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 POLYVEST® grades exhibit excellent reactivity and can be used in a wide array of applications across the automotive, construction, and electronics industries.
