BASF Offers Customers Carbon Footprints for its Plastic Additives
myPlasticAdditives online customer portal is BASF’s latest addition to the Valeras portfolio of sustainable solutions and services.
Through its new myPlasticAdditives online customer portal, BASF is now offering its plastic additives customers product carbon footprints (PCFs) for several antioxidants and light stabilizers as a premium service within the Valeras portfolio of sustainable solutions and services. By improving CO2 transparency in the value chain, BASF will support customers in reaching their greenhouse gas emission reduction targets.
Using its proprietary digital solution and validated calculations, BASF can now provide cradle-to-gate PCFs. A cradle-to-gate PCF comprises the total greenhouse gas emissions that occur from the extraction of resources through the manufacturing of precursors to the making of the final chemical product itself. Reportedly, myPlasticAdditives is a convenient and easy-to-use digital solution to access on demand a broad library of regulatory, sustainability and technical information. This portal will help customers drive efficiency and improve business processes with BASF support at their fingertips. Registration for an account is available at myPlasticAdditves.basf.com.
The first wave of available calculations includes products in the Irganox, Tinuvin and Chimassorb portfolios; further products will follow. PCFs for plastic additives are part of the Valeras portfolio with which BASF is committed to increasing the sustainability of plastics along the entire polymer value chain with innovative solutions and offerings from its plastic additives business.
