The new VESTOPLAST® eCO aims to reduce the use of fossil resources and transition to bio-based feedstock, e.g. made from bio-waste like orange peels.
VESTOPLAST® eCO
Smart solutions for a sustainable future
The VESTOPLAST® eCO product portfolio is our commitment to a sustainable future: It is produced using a mass balance approach of bio-circular, renewable feedstocks and renewable energies, which significantly reduces carbon emissions.

The move to reduce reliance on fossil-based resources is part of Evonik’s focus on sustainability. Resources need to be better used and changes must be made to tackle climate change.
