BASF Expands its Sustainable Product Portfolio in Lemforde
Read MoreHide Full Article
BASF SE (BASFY - Free Report) has completed the International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC) PLUS program at its Lemforde, Germany, production facility for manufacturing biomass-balanced thermoplastic polyurethanes. In addition, various thermoplastic and polyurethane systems were successfully recertified according to REDcert standards. This enables BASF to broaden its sustainable product offering and maintain its commitment to assisting clients in meeting their sustainability objectives.
BASF's mass-balancing approach helps its customers achieve their environmental goals. This approach enables the replacement of fossil resources with renewable and recycled raw materials in BASF's Verbund production system and assigns them to the appropriate product. Customers benefit from a decreased CO2 footprint when fossil raw materials are replaced with renewable alternatives. The formulation and quality of the corresponding end goods are unaltered.
Customers benefit from this drop-in solution because it has a lower CO2 footprint than conventional materials and requires no technological adjustments. Reducing the usage of fossil fuels and greenhouse gas emissions is extremely important for today's manufacturers and consumers.
The ISCC PLUS certification covers the full value chain and ensures that the certified share of fossil raw materials is replaced with renewable raw materials. This allows BASF to give mass balance certificates to clients for certain thermoplastic polyurethane products. It is a globally recognized certification program for mass balancing methods.
Shares of BASFY have lost 3% over the past year compared with 5.7% rise of its industry.
