Paving the way for an infinite range of sustainable plastic solutions
BASF – hall B4 booth 4304
Plastics are an integral part of modern life; however, there is increasing public concern regarding their usage. To address this, BASF is striving to reduce plastic waste, conserve raw materials, and maximise the potential of materials during use. BASF will be showcasing a large number of them at the 28th Fakuma in Friedrichshafen, Germany.
Ultramid Ccycled – Chemical recycling for packaging and textile applications
One example is BASF’s polyamide Ultramid Ccycled – a future-oriented mass‑balanced product that supports the use of alternative raw materials from the chemical recycling of plastic waste. Chemical recycling currently uses plastic waste that is difficult to recycle, such as end-of-life tyres or mixed plastics, thus keeping it in the material cycle. The recycled raw material is fed into the beginning of the BASF production and attributed to Ultramid Ccycled products via a mass‑balance approach. Fossil raw materials are thus replaced and saved. Customers use Ccycled products in many segments, such as textiles and packaging. Since Ultramid Ccycled has the same quality as the conventional product, this polyamide is also ideally suited for highly regulated applications such as food packaging.
