What specific sustainability improvement has Lanxess achieved in its Baypren chloroprene rubber production through collaboration with Covestro?

Lanxess has significantly reduced the Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) of its Baypren series by using ISCC PLUS certified chlorine supplied by Covestro in chloroprene rubber production; since January 2026, Lanxess has fully adopted this certified chlorine, resulting in an average 20% reduction in Global Warming Potential (GWP) compared to 2025 levels, with actual reductions varying by product grade.

How does Lanxess’s Baypren Eco product line differ from standard Baypren, and what sustainability benefit does it offer customers?

Baypren Eco is a specific product line of chloroprene rubber that uses both ISCC PLUS certified chlorine (from Covestro) and ISCC PLUS certified butadiene, enabling further environmental impact reduction while maintaining unchanged product performance—thus helping customers advance their own sustainability goals.
