Econic Technologies develops innovative, energy-efficient catalyst technologies that allow CO2 generated by industry to be captured and recycled for polyol production. This reduces the need for non-renewable petrochemical raw materials and lowers the emission of harmful greenhouse gases. Their catalyst technologies react CO2 with a group of chemicals called epoxides to make polymers that can contain up to 50% by weight of CO2.
