Mass Balance – Certified Customer Value Chain and Product Carbon Footprint
At Chinaplas, BASF launched Biomass Balance (BMB) certified product brands, including Ultramid® polyamide (PA), Ultraform®
Polyoxymethylene (POM), Polyether Polyol Lupraphen, Elastopan® Polyurethane (PU), Elastollan® Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU). These certified grades are for
Complementary to Ultraform’s Biomass Balance grades launching October 2022. Ultraform biomass balance solution reduces by about 70% compared to conventional grades
Product Carbon Footprint (PCF).
Andy Bao, Senior Vice President of BASF, responsible for the Performance Materials Division in Asia Pacific
Postlethwaite said: “Biomass balance promotes the use of renewable raw materials, saves fossil resources, and reduces greenhouse gas emissions. Based on the mass balance method (ISO
22095) certified biomass balance grades can be customized according to customer needs. Together with our customers, we will develop tailor-made solutions to achieve their specific sustainability goals. ”
In parallel with the launch of the new biomass balance products, BASF will carry out more site certifications to verify its chain of custody from 2025, as well as chemical cycling (CCycled®
)product. Currently, all performance materials installations in China already run on renewable energy, which translates to a saving of 60% in CO2 emissions.
