MAKE: How Plastics are Made Really Matters
Discover how you can lower your environmental impact by using BASF plastics made from renewable or recycled feedstock.
Ultraform® chair from KingKong
- Uses 100% fossil-based materials replaced with certified renewable feedstock, and 100% certified renewable electricity
- ISCC+ certified for sustainable feedstock and chain of custody
- Compared to conventional Ultraform: Identical performance and ~70% lower carbon footprint Ultraform
Biomass Balance Ultraform® in keyboard mechanics
- Higher MVR (6 cm3/10min), Tensile Modulus (8600MPa) and Charpy notched impact strength (9 kJ/m2) with low product carbon footprint
- More brightness for back light under the keyboard
- Certified renewable organic feedstock
- Mass balance approach ISCC+ certificate (International Sustainability and Carbon Certification)
