„Our industry is undergoing a transformation towards a circular and climate-neutral industry. We are actively driving this important transformation forward with climate-friendly solutions and the use of alternative raw materials - in an increasingly volatile market environment. The fact is that the decisive course is being set for the future of our industry, and I am looking forward to being at the forefront.“
