Transforming the future of the chemical industry
This year’s event highlighted bold visions for the future of the chemical industry. Keynotes included Dr. Markus Steilemann (CEO, Covestro) with “Yes, we chem!”, and Dr. Markus Kamieth (CEO, BASF) on transformation as a key to competitiveness in the chemical sector.
Planet-proof plastics by design
One of the highlights was our CSO Dr. Manuel Häußler, who presented aevoloop’s research-driven approach to planet-proof plastics — materials that are:
100% circular
biodegradable
sustainably sourced
and engineered at the molecular level for high performance
This innovation has already gained recognition in the scientific community, with our findings published in Nature.
A win for climate-smart materials
Winning this startup award is a major milestone in our mission to reshape plastics for a climate-positive future. It strengthens our belief that chemistry can drive real change — and motivates our team to continue pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in green materials science.
