Climate-Neutral and Circular Products

LANXESS is actively reducing product carbon footprints (PCF) and transitioning to renewable raw materials to foster circularity. These measures align with global calls for resource efficiency and carbon neutrality.

The Product Carbon Footprint Engine

Leveraging digitization, LANXESS developed the Product Carbon Footprint Engine, a proprietary tool that tracks and minimizes emissions across product life cycles. This innovation enhances supply chain transparency and supports data-driven sustainability decisions.

Scopeblue – Highlighting Sustainable Solutions

LANXESS identifies and promotes “Scopeblue” – products characterized by significantly reduced emissions and incorporation of circular raw materials. This subset serves as sustainability exemplars within their portfolio.

Phasing Out Critical Substances

Prioritizing human health and environmental protection, LANXESS is systematically eliminating critical substances from consumer products. Their proactive approach exceeds regulatory requirements, fostering safer and non-toxic chemical solutions while supporting a circular economy.

Product Innovation & Mass Balancing

Continuous development of advanced materials for renewable energy, energy efficiency, and recyclability drives LANXESS’ product innovation. Applying mass balancing techniques ensures the sustainable allocation of raw materials across the portfolio.

Integration with Corporate Strategy and SDGs

Sustainability is integral to LANXESS’ business strategy. Their innovations contribute directly to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly by supporting climate action, responsible consumption, and health safety.
