Bioplastics do not substitute conventional plastics but complement them as special materials: They offer new properties and application possibilities while having environmental benefits. Biopolymers like BASF’s ecoflex ® (PBAT) and the compound ecovio ® make an important contribution to circular economy by increasing organic recycling and closing the loop of the food value chain.

Discover Sustainable Performance Successful projects start with inspired people _________________________________________ Loading ... Our team works on certified compostable and soil-biodegradable plastics because we see them as complementary to existing recyclable plastics for specific applications in food packaging and agriculture. Thus BASF – and our customers - can achieve their circular economy goals. Our aspiration is for the rest of the value chain to join in, as meaningful impact is achieved when the whole industry is engaged. Afsaneh is active in several plastic and paper packaging associations where she shapes the way biopolymers are perceived. She provides first-hand scientific facts on how biopolymers help to increase the collection of organic waste. Dr. Afsaneh Nabifar Head of Global Advocacy and Sustainability for Biopolymers Energy efficient and future-oriented construction is of key importance when it comes to climate change. BASF delivers suitable materials for this and intends to be climate neutral by 2050. With our products, we help our customers to follow in our footsteps and achieve their own ambitious climate goals.
