Toward a circular economy 

A circular economy seeks to decouple growth from resource consumption and makes the most of the limited resources of our planet. It uses them for as long as possible, minimizes waste, and creates value with renewable resources. With our portfolio of dispersions and construction additives, we open new product loops and opportunities for more-sustainable coatings, adhesives, and fiber bonding and construction materials.

Protecting environment and climate

Reducing BASF’s greenhouse gas emissions and providing transparency about the Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) of our dispersions and construction additives helps minimize emissions. With renewable raw materials and green energy, we are able to save fossil resources while minimizing the PCF. That’s how we support achieving more sustainable coatings, adhesives, and construction and fiber bonding materials.

Increasing circularity in transport packaging

BASF is  switching to industrial C-IBC packaging containing a minimum of 30% recycled content for all deliveries of dispersions from the Ludwigshafen site in Germany. This is part of our journey towards a more circular economy.
