Benefits of Bio-based Solutions

Sourced from biological materials
Verifiable biogenic carbon content
Conservation of fossil resources

The picture you described shows a close-up view of soil with a small green plant growing on the right side. On the left side, there is a mixture of organic matter such as decomposing leaves and vegetable scraps, partially covered by soil. Overlaid on this part of the image is a circular graphic containing the text "with detectable biocontent 14C."

Unlocking the Potential of Bio-based Solutions

The biogenic content is verified through independent measurement using the ¹⁴C method (ASTM D6866-18). BASF offers a comprehensive portfolio of bio-based raw materials, providing solutions for various applications. This enables our customers to prove the biogenic share of their products and develop unique offerings that cannot be achieved with fossil resources.
