Dow - Advancing a Circular Economy

 

Dow is continuously seeking innovative ways to make, use, and reuse materials, ensuring they stay out of the environment and retain their value for as long as possible, all in support of a sustainable future.

We believe in considering the total impact of a product over its life cycle, including factors such as demand on nature, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, performance, longevity, and end of life, while also working to extend the lifespan of materials. Dow is raising the bar for ourselves and the broader industry to actively advance and support the development of a circular economy. Together, we need to invest in technologies to transform waste into new products, address gaps in recycling infrastructure, and design for circularity.

We invite you to explore recent articles on our efforts to advance a circular economy.
