Microplastics
Evonik uses microplastics in some of its production processes. We also generate microplastics. This applies, for example, to the polymers in pellet form produced by our High Performance Polymers business line, which we sell to our customers for further processing. Evonik became a signatory to Operation Clean Sweep as early as 2015. The aim of this global campaign is to prevent pellet loss in production, processing, and transportation. In addition, Evonik offers alternatives that can replace microplastic particles in both rinse-off and leave-on cosmetic products.
