May 18th 2011: DSM and Cradle to Cradle®
Guest lecture by Theo Jongeling
Room OH 110
DSM Engineering Plastics is a global supplier of high-performance engineering thermoplastic solutions and has a focused portfolio of products; with each of them it has realized global leadership. DSM is the global number 3 in the overall market for semi-crystalline engineering plastics and is the global market leader in high-temperature polyamides. In polyamide 6, DSM holds a number 2 position, as it does in thermoplastic copolyester elastomers. Many of DSM’s customers are looking for materials with high recyclability to improve the Life Cycle Assessment scores of their own products. DSM is leading the response to this need. Recognizing the growing interest in recycling with the ultimate goal of achieving closed-loop systems, DSM has adopted the Cradle to Cradle® concept.
