With the further development of eMobility, the requirements for the ageing resistance of plastics in contact with chemicals are increasing significantly.

Fossil resources are limited. That's why we need to rethink the production, use and recycling of plastics. Find out more about how we at BASF are working on new ways to make the production of plastics more sustainable.

To accelerate #ourplasticsjourney, we are working with partners along the value chain on several projects of different maturity levels. We offer solutions that further improve mechanical recycling and use new, innovative and complementary chemical recycling technologies on a large scale. Find out more about our projects.

Chemical recycling complements mechanical recycling and can be a more sustainable solution than incineration or landfill of plastic waste. It thus contributes to a circular economy and the responsible use of resources. An LCA study conducted by Sphera for BASF concludes that chemical recycling (pyrolysis) of mixed plastic waste emits 50% less CO2 than incineration of mixed plastic waste.
