BASF has received two awards for its innovative solutions for closing the loop on engineering plastics. The two recycling projects for polyamide 6 (PA6) presented at K 2025 – depolymerization and solvent-based recycling – received both the MATERIALICA Award 2026 (winner in the category “CO2 Efficiency”) and the Fakuma Innovation Award 2026 (2nd place in the category “sustainability”).

BASF is expanding the application focus of its Ultrason® portfolio to advance the development of electrical and electronic (E&E) components used in AI-driven data centers, high-speed connectivity and e-mobility. BASF’s polyarylethersulfones (PAES) thus support E&E manufacturers, OEMs and data center operators who require materials that maintain reliable operation, signal integrity and long service life as well as ensure fire safety and efficient thermal management. 

Ludwigshafen, Germany – BASF is expanding its portfolio of engineering plastics with new Ultradur® grades designed to help automotive manufacturers and suppliers increase the recycled content of their products while meeting demanding technical requirements.

With Ultramid^® B3K BK00464 from BASF, the BOOXit transport box relies on a high-performance polyamide 6 designed for demanding logistics applications. The easy-flow material combines high strength, durability and efficient injection molding processing, characteristics that are particularly valuable for reusable transport boxes for use in parcel, healthcare, and industrial logistics.

Geopolitical uncertainties, regulatory requirements, and increasing performance expectations are reshaping the plastics industry. At Fakuma 2026, BASF will demonstrate under the guiding theme #OurPlasticsJourney how the perceived trade-offs between sustainability, resilience, and performance can be overcome.
