Carbon capture and storage (CCS) and carbon dioxide utilization (CDU) are increasingly discussed by actors from industry, politics, and science as option to mitigate climate change.Apart from reducing emissions, using CDU CO 2 can substitute fossil resources during the production of new plastic products, e.g., mattresses of polyurethane foam.To date, there has been virtually no systematic research on public perceptions concerning CDU for manufacturing plastics, i.e., whether future users accept such products.Thus, this qualitative interview study examined CDU acceptance regarding different plastic products and analyzed laypersons' perceptions and needs in comparison with attitudes and perspectives of scientific experts.
