BASF will be represented together with BTC Europe, its European distribution organisation, at Interpack, Messe Düsseldorf from May 4 to 10, 2023 at Stand B43 in Hall 10.
The company will present numerous solutions and new projects in the packaging sector to customers and partners. BASF will continue its “Plastics Journey” with the three phases “MAKE-USE-RECYLE” in the life cycle of plastics at interpack.
Ultramid Ccycled as sustainable solution for packaging
One example is BASF’s sustainable polyamide Ultramid Ccycled – a future-oriented mass-balanced product that supports the use of alternative raw materials from the chemical recycling of plastic waste. Chemical recycling currently uses plastic waste that is difficult to recycle, such as end-of-life tyres or mixed household packaging, thus keeping it in the material cycle.
Since Ultramid Ccycled has the same quality as the conventional product, the sustainable polyamide is also ideally suited for highly regulated applications such as food packaging.
PE/PA multilayer films are recyclable
Since fall 2022, coextruded PE/PA film structures have been considered mechanically recyclable. Based on the studies of Institute cyclos-HTP GmbH, the Stiftung Zentrale Stelle Verpackungsregister (Central Agency Packaging Register) has reclassified the recyclability of polyamides in the minimum standard.
As a major producer of Ultramid extrusion polyamides for multilayer films, BASF is involved in projects for objective categorisation of polyamides in flexible packaging applications.
Elastostat enables the use of PE blown film in potentially explosive areas
The film innovation DUO EX-TRA is equipped with the static dissipative polymer Elastostat. Elastostat is particularly suitable for companies in the chemical industry and their suppliers, who can be supplied directly to hazardous areas in the future.
The packaging delivery process becomes more efficient, sustainability improves and costs are reduced at the same time.
Ultradur Barrier B6560 M2 FC TF – a true monolayer with excellent barrier properties
The packaging market currently faces two major challenges: the trend towards mono-material solutions and recycling of packaging as simple and efficient as possible. The new Ultradur® Barrier B6560 M2 FC TF closes exactly this gap.
New Ultradur B1520 FC grades enable single layer capsules with high barrier and low THF migration
Ultradur B1520 FC R01 is a high flowability PBT that was specially developed for injection-molded thin-walled packaging for cosmetics- and food products. One of the main applications are coffee capsules.
Flexible packaging solutions with water-based Epotal adhesives
BASF’s water-based Epotal lamination adhesives are a sustainable alternative to solvent-based and solvent-less products. They represent a reliable option for manufacturers of flexible packaging on all performance levels.
Packaging innovations made of Styropor Ccycled
BASF continuously develop innovative solutions for the packaging industry such as Styropor Ccycled. In its production, recycled instead of fossil feedstocks are used at the beginning of the chemical value chain.
SPOTLIGHT Talks & Trends: Circular Economy – Closing the Loop
BASF will give a keynote speech on “Advancing performance for circular packaging applications” on May 5 at the SPOTLIGHT area at the North Entrance of the fair. The focus of that day will be “Circular Economy – Closing the Loop” and BASF experts will highlight its solutions designed for sustainable packaging applications.
