95% of all products contain chemicals, which makes chemistry
central to every industrial value chain. But what would it take to
make this foundation of European production more circular? In this
episode, Frank F. Meyer from Henkel Consumer Brands, Inge Neven
from VITO, Prof. Regina Palkovits from RWTH Aachen and the CATALAIX
program, Prof. Manfred Renner from Fraunhofer UMSICHT and
Fraunhofer CCPE, and William Stevens from Tech Tour join moderator
Carsten Gerhardt to discuss the future of circular chemistry.
Together they explore three core questions: What is on their
horizon in terms of chemical innovation? What does it take to scale
these technologies across industrial settings? And what does it
take to bring something successful in the lab to the market? This
episode concludes our series in collaboration with Circular Valley,
which aims to advance Europe’s transition toward a circular economy
across the cross border region of North Rhine Westphalia, Flanders
and the Netherlands. The panel was recorded at the Circular Valley
Forum 2025.
