At Evonik, we manufacture around 9,400 products, all of which we have assessed for sustainability and subsequently categorized. At the top of the list are the Leaders and Drivers — products that outperform the competition in terms of sustainability. These frontrunners are our Next Generation Solutions. They are an essential part of many future technologies and already account for 48 percent of our sales.
We will continue to systematically increase their share of total sales in the coming years. And many of our products have the potential to develop into Next Generation Solutions through product and process improvements.
With this brochure, we would like to present to you selected Next Generation Solutions. We place particular emphasis on the sustainability benefits (‘handprint’) of the NGS, which have already been quantified for selected product examples.
