Pioneering Progress with Breakthrough Technologies at K 2025
At K 2025 in Dusseldorf, Germany, Dow will highlight the range of its materials science solutions to show how plastics can drive positive change and a more sustainable, customer-focused future under the subject “Generation Transformation.”
“Inspired by this year’s K Show theme ‘The Power of Plastics’, we asked ourselves: who, or what, generates that power? It’s the innovation and collaboration among individuals and organizations, responding to the pressing challenges we face in industry and society. Jointly we are all part of Generation Transformation,” said Stephanie Kalil, commercial vice president EMEA, Packaging & Specialty Plastics, Dow.
“We are inviting the entire value chain to join us in exploring how joint innovation can contribute to enhancing performance and sustainability in packaging and consumer solutions, driving the next generation of mobility, and building places that last.”
Dow’s purpose-built building 04.1, just outside Hall 4 at the very heart of the K Show campus, will contain spacious exhibition areas that bring different facets of Generation Transformation to life. Visitors can explore the latest solutions across Packaging, Consumer, Infrastructure and Mobility segments.
Matching materials with performance
New packaging innovations developed in collaboration with brand owners and converters will be on display alongside Dow’s full range of solutions including mono-polyethylene (mono-PE), bio-circular, circular and post-consumer recycled (PCR) materials that provide enhanced product shelf life, tamper resistance and tear resistance, as well as helping customers prepare for the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR). This includes the new D-PAK cartons, produced in collaboration with Elopak and Orkla Home and Personal Care (OHPC), which offer a unique mix of circular (recycled) polyethylene and bio-circular (renewable) polymers.
In the consumer sector, Dow will be showcasing its latest collaboration with Guerlain, one of the prestigious maisons of LVMH, the world’s leading luxury brand. Guerlain is utilizing SURLYN REN Ionomers for La Petite Robe Noir perfume caps, which offer the design freedom and transparency required by luxury brands. Also on show will be footwear and accessories from some of the world’s most recognizable brands, demonstrating Dow’s high-performance materials solutions that don’t compromise on style or comfort.
Driving next-generation mobility
Anticipating the upcoming end-of-life vehicle directive, Dow’s MobilityScience will showcase solutions that support Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) in meeting regulatory targets, including the latest developments for automotive seating with EVOAIR Polyolefin Elastomers (POE) based leather, a lightweight alternative leather solution offering a luxurious feel, and INFINAIR Polymers for 3D Loop Technology enabling end-of-life mechanical recycling for seat cushion circularity. A range of products addressing the automotive industry’s focus on lightweighting, circularity and electrification will also be featured.
Building places that last
The breadth of Dow’s cross-segment infrastructure offering will also be showcased at K, with a view to helping reduce greenhouse gas emissions, increase efficiency, and support the industry’s transformation towards a more sustainable, resilient future. With the energy transition at the forefront, Dow will be showcasing solutions spanning from wire and cables to piping and building materials. REVOLOOP Recycled Plastics Resins for cable jackets, incorporating post-consumer recycled (PCR) material, will also be featured at K.
“We have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to redefine plastics as a powerful enabler of sustainable transformation and modern life, “said Abby Turner, sustainability and growth marketing director EMEA, Packaging and Specialty Plastics, Dow. “We are inviting partners from every sector to join us at K to help shape the industry for generations to come.”
