Covestro has launched the CQ-Configurator, a pioneering digital tool that enables more sustainable design for polyurethane foam solutions based on Covestro environmental data.

The application-first tool supports both flexible and rigid polyurethane foam applications, from mattresses to insulation panels, and seamlessly translates raw material-level information into actionable product-impact making sustainability assessment accessible across all organizational functions.

 

Patrizia Wegner, VP Sales Flex Foam EMLA of Covestro, said that the CQ-Configurator supports the needs of Scope 3 reporting and growing regulatory requirements by enabling rapid, data-based environmental performance assessments and by improving transparency along the polyurethane value chain.

 

“Companies can now compare material choices and reach their desired product sustainability profile in just a few clicks — eliminating the need for time-consuming calculations and lengthy alignment processes,” added Dennis Wagner, Marketing Manager Soft Furniture at Covestro.

 

From data to decisions: Making sustainability tangible

 

The CQ-Configurator intuitively allows users to select between flexible or rigid foam applications, such as mattresses, insulation panels, or even special formulations, define technical properties and specify shares of mass-balanced isocyanate and polyol options.

 

The tool then calculates the associated CO₂ impact and sustainable material share of each formulation scenario.

 

By translating formulation choices into clear, application-specific sustainability results, the CQ-Configurator provides companies with a transparent fact base to support internal decision-making.

 

It enables rapid comparisons of different material options with exportable results that facilitate cross-functional alignment and customer discussions. At the same time, the tool links material choices to market-relevant sustainability benefits, supporting both product development and marketing strategies.

 

Designed for broad industry use

 

The tool supports various professional roles involved in product development, including R&D specialists, procurement teams, sales managers, marketing professionals, and sustainability experts. Its intuitive interface ensures that both technical and non-technical users can leverage the insights effectively.

 

With the launch of the CQ-Configurator, Covestro is the first European PU materials supplier to offer a comprehensive digital sustainability assessment tool focusing on multiple polyurethane foam applications.

 

Built on third-party verified raw material LCA data and long-standing PU expertise of Covestro, the tool provides transparent and credible sustainability metrics that support informed decision-making across the value chain.
