A Sustainable Future with Polyurethanes

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.  

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.   

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.
