        Our research focus

        Change is part of our corporate philo­sophy. We’re not just into refining our existing products. We also want to open up new appli­cations in other sectors. And design recycling concepts that really work. We are constantly opti­mizing our existing production techno­logies in terms of energy consumption, new production methods, and use of raw materials.

        The first question we always ask ourselves is: What will help our markets move forward? Our research therefore focuses on

        • process optimization to save resources and energy
        • closed raw material cycles
        • new products
        • alternative fibers and technologies
