As sustainability becomes an increasingly important business priority, driven by growing expectations for transparency, CO₂ reduction, and circularity across the value chain, companies are looking for practical solutions to accelerate their transformation.

BASF’s engineering plastics plant in Minhang, Shanghai, and at the Zhanjiang Verbund site in Guangdong Province have been certified under ISCC PLUS (International Sustainability and Carbon Certification)^[1]. The certification covers renewable and recycled feedstocks and verifies their sustainable origin and allocation through a mass balance approach, offering independent traceability across the value chain.

The MSA M1 self-contained breathing apparatus uses a carrier plate made of Ultramid^® A3XZC3 ESD, which combines flame retardancy, high mechanical strength, and defined electrical properties. The highly impact-modified, carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic proves itself not only in demanding technical applications but also in daily use – for example with BASF’s plant fire brigade.

Building on their successful collaboration in bra cup innovation, Wacoal and BASF are extending their co-creation into automotive interior applications with an armrest concept model that highlights the potential of advanced 3D fiber-based manufacturing and BASF’s material solutions for lightweight, comfort-focused interior components with enhanced design freedom.
