Niaga produces circular products and materials for living and working
Niaga is an innovation venture by Covestro, a leading polymer company. Niaga was founded with the mission to design out waste completely by enabling a circular economy for products and materials. Their core purpose is to ensure that valuable materials don't end up as waste by facilitating their reuse, repair, refurbishment, and recycling. Niaga's approach is guided by principles like designing with the end in mind, promoting material transparency, and making product return a key enabler of circularity. The company collaborates with partners to redesign products like carpets, mattresses, and furniture panels to be fully recyclable using innovative "click-unclick" adhesives and mono-materials.
