A Sustainable Future with Polyurethanes

Securing a sustainable future for all

At Dow, we’re accelerating our sustainability journey towards a low carbon and circular future. Our ‘Decarbonize and Grow’ strategy includes a phased approach to decarbonize our assets to meet the growing demands for sustainable products and solutions through continued investments in new products, technologies and processes. 

Transitioning to low carbon is an opportunity for Dow’s Polyurethanes business. That’s why we’re optimizing our technologies to enable benefits such as increasing circularity, bio-based and renewable content, energy efficiency, resource reduction and reduced emissions. 

Building better environmental performance 

Collaboration has always been part of accelerating innovation at Dow and the Polyurethanes business. Working together with partners from across the value chain allows us to implement low carbon solutions and technologies and solve the biggest materials challenges.   

This approach helps our customers to achieve their sustainability related goals. By building better environmental performance into every step of the polyurethane lifecycle, realizing CO2 savings and increasing circularity in their end-applications, is now a reality.

Innovating safe and sustainable solutions

Advancing carbon neutrality with Dow

Responsible sourcing of low-carbon feedstock helps make net-carbon reduction possible. 

Our reduced carbon offerings demonstrate or enable a lower carbon footprint. This net carbon reduction is based on the responsible sourcing of low-carbon feedstocks as well as Dow`s actions to reduce carbon emissions in the manufacturing process - both of which result in lower embedded carbon in our customer`s products.  

Recovered. Recycled. Renewed. With Dow

Through advanced or chemical recycling, hard-to-recycle post-consumer and post-industrial waste is transformed into sustainable feedstocks. End-of-life PU products are broken down into its base components which can be used to manufacture new products. 

All of this helps to keep end-of-life material out of the waste stream and reduce the need for non-renewable feedstocks. 

Value Chain Collaborations

Designing for circularity with Dow

We’re accelerating our sustainability journey for circularity in polyurethanes.

Designing for circularity at the molecular level expands the possibilities for recycling across a variety of applications, and ultimately lessens the overall environmental footprint. Many of our polyurethane solutions are designed to enable circularity in products and processes helping them to reach their circularity and carbon targets.

Advancing resource efficiency with Dow 

Through material science innovation, our customers and consumers can do more with less. A more efficient use of natural resources can help reduce waste and the overall environmental impact of consumer goods. Our resource-efficient polyurethanes are designed to help drive down carbon emissions and the amount of natural resources consumed. Thanks to new and improved technologies, it’s possible to optimize the entire polyurethanes manufacturing process – reducing energy consumption, emissions, water, and waste.
