Business Model
Two segments: Additives and Functional Products (40% — coatings, adhesives, specialty additives) and Advanced Materials (60% — polymers, fibers, films). Revenue from B2B sales to automotive, construction, consumer goods, and packaging industries. Molecular recycling creates new revenue from waste plastic.
Moat Analysis
Proprietary molecular recycling technology can process hard-to-recycle plastics that mechanical recycling cannot handle. Long-term supply agreements with major brands (Coca-Cola, Nestlé) seeking recycled content. Kingsport, TN facility is the world's largest of its kind.

Interesting Facts
- Eastman's molecular recycling can break plastic waste down to its molecular building blocks and rebuild it into virgin-quality material — effectively creating a closed loop for plastics.
- The company was born from George Eastman's need for chemicals to produce photographic film — today it makes chemicals for everything from smartphone screens to car parts.
