Econic Technologies was born from a vision where catalyst chemistry is used to turn CO₂ into positive economic and environmental potential. Incorporating CO₂ as a feedstock for polymer preparation, by using our technology companies can turn carbon emissions into ingredients that replace oil-based materials in everyday products used in cars, clothes, construction materials, mattresses and more. Our technology makes products work better and cost less, so billions of people can enjoy modern life with less impact on the planet. The Econic process embeds upcycled carbon into products that perform better for people and the planet. This process reduces the carbon footprint by up to 30% without compromising performance. In polyurethane formulations, Econic polyols make it possible to process foams more quickly, make more durable coatings and reduce flame retardants without sacrificing performance. With our process, manufacturers can use recycled CO₂ at temperatures and pressures in line with standard production, so energy costs don’t increase. Econic’s technology works with existing manufacturing assets and only requires a few process changes. Brand owners also enjoy an economic upside with Econic polyols. Products stand out in the market thanks to a better environmental profile and performance that goes beyond standard polyols.
