SUMMARY:Lunch Lecture Dow
DESCRIPTION:Dow worldwide Founded in 1897\, Dow has grown from an American 
 chemical company into a global leader in materials science. Today\, we ope
 rate 98 production sites in 31 countries\, including Delfzijl\, Dordrecht\
 , and Terneuzen in the Netherlands. Dow Terneuzen\, located in Zeeland\, i
 s our largest site outside the United States and the second largest worldw
 ide. Here\, we produce plastics and essential raw materials used in many e
 veryday products such as food packaging\, medical equipment\, electronics\
 , and automotive components.   Circularity of polymers During this lunch 
 lecture\, Dow Fellow Jaap Den Doelder will present Dow’s approach to the
  circularity of polymers and the role materials science plays in enabling 
 a more sustainable plastics value chain. The lecture will highlight Dow’
 s engagement in sustainability\, with a focus on design for recycling\, me
 chanical recycling\, and chemical recycling. Particular attention will be 
 given to polyethylene\, one of the most abundant polymer classes worldwide
  and a key focus area for Dow. Through real-world examples and scientific 
 insight\, the lecture will explore how innovation in polymer design and re
 cycling technologies can help keep materials in use longer and reduce envi
 ronmental impact.   Terneuzen: Our home base Since opening in 1965\, Dow 
 Terneuzen has played a central role in the Zeeland region and is one of it
 s largest employers. Our strength lies in our diverse organization\, where
  equality\, inclusion\, and diversity are core values. This is made possib
 le by our #TeamDow\, with whom we are proudly celebrating our 60th anniver
 sary from May 2025 to 2026. Will you join us on this journey? Start explor
