Paper that could curl up on you and become water- logged when you take a shower, not to mention make an ideal spawning ground for mildew? These problems are a thing of the past, as Evonik has proven with its new ccflex® ceramic wall covering. ccflex® can be handled as easy as wallpaper, is as water-repellent and durable as a tile, and com pared to tiles, takes one-tenth the energy to produce. The Initiativkreis Ruhr, an association for promoting commerce in the Ruhr Valley, billed ccflex® “an outstanding innovation,” and has now honored it with the Ruhr2030Award, which carries prize money of €50,000. And now for a different topic, but from the jury‘s perspective, one just as innovative: our co­­­oper­­ ation with Daimler AG in the research, development, and production of lithium-ion batteries in Germany. The two companies are now distinguished winners of the ÖkoGlobe, the first internation al environmental award for the automobile industry and its suppliers. This award, which we have received in the Innovative Energy Source category, also has its roots in our research—in the separ a tor Patrik Wohlhauser Evonik developed that makes batteries exceptionally efficient and safe.

With this new plant, we are fostering the trend toward high-molecular-weight plasticizers, which pose no risk to human health, according to a rigorous EU risk assessment. This has been well-received on the market: The plant is complete- ly booked from the start. These three encouraging signs convince us that we can’t afford to shortchange research and development, even in times of crisis. The economy also looks less gloomy these days. The situation is beginning to stabilize, if at a low level, and we are now standing on solid ground at the bottom of the valley. Next begins the long, slow ascent back up. And we have our first signals of confidence for the climb—the number of our employees in short-time work has dropped from its high of 3,700 to less than half that number.
