BASF achieves ISCC+ certification across all its global major production sites for Acrylics, Alcohols, Glycol Ethers and Acetates, taking an important step to support customers fulfilling their targets and ambitions. With this step, BASF is now able to produce more than 60 products related to this portfolio with one or more sustainability attributes.

In addition to the already known high-quality and reliable ‘Classic’ products, the majority of the portfolio can also be offered with one or more of the following sustainability attributes: ‘Low-PCF’ and ‘Zero-PCF’ lead the way in reducing the product carbon footprint, aiding customers' greenhouse gas reduction targets. ‘Bio-based’ products are partially made of biomass, traceable via the 14C method. Ccycled products are made using chemically recycled raw materials from plastic waste or end-of-life tires which is instrumental in fostering a circular economy and products ‘Made using Green Power’ underline BASF's commitment to renewable energy, further mitigating the environmental impact of the production process.

Martin Liedemit, senior vice president global strategic business development Petrochemicals at BASF, highlights, "Based on BASF’s strong global and versatile asset footprint, we are capable to offer products with different sustainability attributes.
