🎧 In a new podcast, our colleague Afsaneh Nabifar, Head of Global Advocacy and Sustainability for Biopolymers, introduces the cross-value chain initiative Compostable by Design Platform. This foundation takes on the challenge to make compostable packaging a viable solution across Europe and emphasizes the need for collaboration along the whole value chain to scale organic recycling of compostable solutions and improve circularity in packaging. #biopolymers #compostable #packaging #sustainablepackaging #circulareconomy

About us
On the way to rethink plastics. Without doubt our everyday lives rely on plastics and as consumers we enjoy the lightweight, durability and versatility they bring. There are countless of advantages plastics bring to innovation, but they must also be sustainable. At BASF Performance Materials, we envision a sustainable world with plastics. We explore new ways to make the lifecycle of plastics more sustainable: from how we can produce plastics more resource-efficiently, to how we can use them better, to how we can give them a new life. We call this transformation #ourplasticsjourney. But we cannot do it on our own. That is why we are working with partners along the value chain and create solutions together. Together we can reach our goal of a cleaner tomorrow faster. #ourplasticsjourney has begun, now it is time for you to embark.

Our polyurethanes for footwear are meltable. The meltable nature of our footwear systems is a characteristic typically associated with our thermoplastic materials like Elastollan® (TPU) and Infinergy® (E-TPU). However, we are proud to introduce a breakthrough in our Elastopan® PU systems for footwear, where this property is now applicable: meltable PU by BASF! The concept of meltable PU is another essential step forward towards a circular future of footwear: Bottom units, upper parts or even complete shoes made of polyurethanes are ready for mechanical recycling concepts. Even combinations of TPU and PU can be considered for recycling without disassembly. If you are interested in learning more about circular footwear concepts in the PU world, be sure to join BASF at #Simac2024 in Milan. Make the Move. Get ready for the circular future #MakeTheMove #Simac2024 #RecyclablePU #CircularFootwear #FootwearTech #Innovation #BASF
