Supplying the world with methacrylate innovations to create the goods for a sustainable society.
What we do
Röhm will reduce the carbon footprint of its products and services, helping its customers to develop sustainable products and solutions. We also want to increase the value of our products during their utilization phase in the long term.
Why we do it
We are taking responsibility considering our Earth’s load limits and adhering to the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals.
How we do it
Sustainability is an integral part of Röhm’s business strategy worldwide. We’re addressing the five challenges of climate, resources, water, hazardous substances and chemical safety.
In these five fields of action, we focus on the implementation of our sustainability strategy:

Recycling of PLEXIGLAS®:
Post-consumer recycling of back-light units of PMMA screens
Backlight units of screens are often made of high-purity polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) and are therefore ideal for chemical recycling. In this process, the polymer (PMMA) is returned to the monomer (MMA) by heating, which can then be used as a raw material for polymerizing PLEXIGLAS® or other products such as reactive resins.
Products made from this have a significantly reduced carbon footprint compared with virgin material. This process clearly distinguishes PMMA from other materials where chemical recycling only produces precursors for monomer production, such as pyrolysis oils.
