Customers can have plastics carbon footprint information, BASF says

07/09/2022

Chemicals group BASF has said it will give customers product carbon footprint information for several of its antioxidants and light stabilisers.

It said it wanted to improve transparency in the value chain and to support customers’ efforts to reach their targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

BASF said it can offer figures for the total greenhouse gas emissions that occur from the extraction of resources through the manufacturing of precursors to the making of the final chemical product.

The first products for which the information is available include Irganox, which is used to make synthetic fibres and elastomers. BASF said further products will follow.
