Discover how BASF is working towards a more sustainable future in Asia Pacific and some of the most recent actions the company has taken to ensure it reaches net zero CO2 emissions by 2050.
Supporting COVID-19 vaccination programmes in Asia
Did you know that vaccines need to be preserved in super cold temperatures to maintain their potency, and therefore the reliability of cold storages is extra important?
United Panel-System, Malaysia’s leading insulated panel, commercial and industrial refrigeration systems producer, now manufactures COVID-19 vaccine logistics facilities made with BASF’s Elastopir® PH, a high-quality polyurethane rigid foam insulation solution.
All households are keen to cut their energy bills, and washing laundry at lower temperatures is one clear way to achieve energy saving.
With solutions from BASF's Sokalan® HP range, laundry detergents help in saving water and energy, yet keeping colour and clothes lasting longer for consumers, in Asia Pacific.
How can AI, digital tools, satellite maps support farmers to make better informed field management decisions in rice and soybeans?
BASF and Zen-noh, a federation of agricultural cooperatives in Japan, collaborated to launch xarvio® FIELD MANAGER, an AI-based digital crop optimization platform.
The platform offers field- and field-zone-specific real-time information and recommendations, which will support farmers to make better-informed field management decisions.
Our water-based acrylic technology is designed to meet high standards of sustainability in the industry, resulting in brighter and stronger roofs. Not only is it eco-friendly, but it is also incredibly easy to apply. Our products are trusted and widely used in markets throughout the Asia Pacific region.
Environmentally friendly solutions from agricultural mulch films to food packaging
ecovio®, BASF's bioplastic, contains variable bio-based content and is certified compostable, which when used to produce mulch films can increase crop yields and control weed growth in the agricultural industry.
Due to its high mechanical strength, durability and resistance to humidity, ecovio® can also be used in a wide variety of applications including organic waste disposal bags and disposable food packing as it is approved for food contact.
BASF and Samsung Heavy Industries Co., Ltd. will carry out a collaborative feasibility assessment of capturing CO2 onboard maritime vessels, using BASF’s OASE® blue technology.
The joint effort is in line with supporting International Maritime Organization’s target to reduce carbon intensity of international shipping by at least 40% by 2030.
Two BASF Monomers manufacturing sites Monomers manufacturing sites in Onsan and Yeosu, South Korea have been ISCC+ certified in 2023. This certificate demonstrates the ability of the sites to offer bio-mass balance (BMB) and ChemCycling® products with identical product performance and lower CO2 emission to the product grades now supplied from South Korea.
BASF's bio-mass balance approach reduces the product carbon footprint by at least 70% in the production process.
