For sustainable sound absorption: the world’s first high-quality melamine resin foam with a reduced PCF
As the world’s first melamine foam manufacturer, BASF now introduces Basotect® EcoBalanced which helps to reduce the Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) of many sound absorption applications in the transportation as well as in the building and construction industries. Basotect® EcoBalanced has an up to 50% lower PCF than the respective BASF standard grades because of two sustainability levers: It is manufactured in a resource-efficient process using 100% green electricity; and the fossil raw materials needed to produce it have been replaced with renewable feedstock at the very beginning of the production. The renewable feedstock comes from organic waste and residual biomass and is attributed to the Basotect® grade via a mass balance approach which is certified according to REDcert2 and ISCC PLUS.
