POLYVANTIS Showcases ESG Leadership and Innovation at K 2025
Düsseldorf, Germany - At K 2025, POLYVANTIS will highlight its commitment to Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles, underscoring the company’s ambition to lead the plastics industry toward a more responsible future.
“At POLYVANTIS, sustainability is not a milestone — it’s a mindset,” said Sandeep Dhawan, CEO at POLYVANTIS. “We design materials to last, manufacture responsibly, and hold ourselves to the highest safety and governance standards. This is how we deliver solutions our customers can trust while shaping a more sustainable future for the industry.”
POLYVANTIS has structured its sustainability approach around three key pillars: Design for Sustainability, Sustainable Manufacturing, and Efficient Use of Resources. Together, these pillars guide how the company innovates, operates, and creates value for customers while advancing a more sustainable future for the industry.
POLYVANTIS begins with design — because making better choices from the start leads to smarter outcomes later. Its materials are made to last for decades, often backed by industry-leading warranties of up to 30 years. The company's materials reduce waste and carbon by combining long life with lightweight durability while delivering trusted performance in critical applications — from stadiums to aircraft. These innovations empower customers and OEMs to actively participate in circularity initiatives, helping to reduce environmental impact and lower the carbon footprint across the value chain.
Across its global production network, POLYVANTIS is working to lower environmental impact through energy-efficient equipment, smarter processes, and continuous optimization of operations. A recent solar installation at the Weiterstadt, Germany, site reduces CO₂ emissions by more than 750 metric tons annually, underscoring tangible progress in emissions reduction. The company is also advancing robust greenhouse gas (GHG) monitoring systems: Scope 1 and 2 emissions data collection is underway, with Scope 3 evaluations in progress. These efforts will form the foundation for science-based reduction targets and a long-term climate strategy.
POLYVANTIS is committed to maximizing every resource by conserving water, minimizing scrap, and improving energy efficiency across its operations. Its closed-loop PMMA recycling program gives end-of-life sheets a second life, providing customers with practical, circular solutions. ISCC+ certification across key sites ensures transparency and traceability in mass balance and recycled content. In addition, new polycarbonate and acrylic grades with post-customer recycled content give OEMs and brand owners more sustainable material choices. By focusing on circularity and responsible resource use, POLYVANTIS helps customers confidently meet sustainability targets.
While environmental progress is essential, POLYVANTIS places equal emphasis on its people and governance. A diverse global workforce, strict adherence to safety, and ethical business practices are at the heart of the company’s operations. Guided by internationally recognized standards such as ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 50001, POLYVANTIS ensures continuous improvement and stakeholder confidence.
With a culture of innovation and responsibility, POLYVANTIS is positioning itself as a trusted partner for customers worldwide. The company is setting new standards for the film and sheet industry by embedding sustainability across design, manufacturing, and resource use.
