What is the meaning of the name Relement?

Originally, Relement’s slogan was ‘Adding the R-element’, meaning adding the renewable element to chemcials. Getting rid of fossil resources is in our DNA.
Because our products are not only green, they also improve performance we nowadays like to refer to another R: Redefining chemistry. In the end, it is all about the combination of performance and lowering eco-footprint.

 

Sustainability alone is not enough. By outperforming petrochemicals as well, we are building the winning, furfural-based chemical company of the future.
