SHANGHAI, Nov. 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Dow (NYSE:DOW), a leading global materials science company, and Guangdong Delian Group Co., Ltd.

Embracing sustainable materials can mitigate these issues, offering consumers more environmentally responsible options while promoting a circular economy in automotive services. Dow is dedicated to developing innovative solutions for a circular economy and enhancing our REVOLOOP™ Recycled Plastics Resins portfolio to meet customers' sustainability needs. We are honored to collaborate with Delian Group to advance the commercial application of REVOLOOP™ in the automotive sector."
"We have been adhering to the business philosophy of energy conservation, emission reduction and a low-carbon environment'," said Xu Tuanhua, Chairman of Delian Group. "The strategic partnership with Dow marks significant progress toward a circular economy, further distinguishing Delian Group from competitors in the automotive market and helping us meet the growing global demand for sustainable products."
The signing of this memorandum of understanding marks a pivotal step in Dow's commitment to "Transform the Waste" initiative. This collaboration aims not only to enhance the packaging application of post-consumer recycled resins in the automotive market but also to drive innovation that will redefine waste as a valuable resource.
