OMV Podcast

Now you hear from us!

The new OMV Podcast Rethinking Resources is officially launched. In the first season, internal and external industry experts discuss everything to do with the circular economy and recycling – an extremely exciting concept and a real beacon of hope for the future.

The podcast covers current challenges as well as the technologies and innovations that can potentially contribute to solutions for climate change, one of the biggest challenges of our time.

The independent moderator duo of Julie McCarthy and Steve Chaid critically examine the hurdles, that customers, companies and society still have to overcome, to ensure the value chain shifts from a linear to a circular model.
