On the way to rethink plastics
It’s easy to forget the good that plastic does for us every day. It keeps our food fresh. It keeps our homes warm. It even keeps us safer as we drive. And, as the BASF portfolio of plastics continues to evolve, we believe more than ever that plastics can continue to play a positive role in our lives by rethinking the way we MAKE, USE and RECYCLE them.
At K 2025, we enthusiastically presented #OurPlasticsJourney, our initiative for innovative solutions in the areas of MAKE, USE, and RECYCLE. Now, after the trade fair, we are proud to present the progress we have made and the potential that #OurPlasticsJourney continues to hold.
Were you unable to attend the trade fair? No problem!
Some call it a transformation, we call it #OurPlasticsJourney.
Plastics prodcution still depends on fossil ressorces, and too much plastic waste still ends up in the environment. However, working alongside our customers and partners, we are taking on the challenge and do our part in co-creating solutions that reinvent the entire lifecycle of plastics together - 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.
The journey to net zero by 2050 is challenging. We continually seek solutions. Learn how we change the way we produce plastics more resource-efficiently.
