At BASF, sustainable solutions are often born through cross-industry co-creations. In 2022, BASF collaborated on innovative solutions for low carbon development, plastic recycling, improved industrial packaging materials, and impactful sustainable progress across industries.

To develop state-of-the-art recyclate formulations for applications used in the automotive, packaging and consumer industries, BASF signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Zhejiang REEF Technology Co., Ltd. BASF will provide newly launched IrgaCycle™ additive solutions, technical consultancy and support on recycled polymer formulations conducted at BASF’s test facilities, co-creating with REEF Technology to support the plastic circular economy and contribute to the increase of the percentage of mechanically recycled content.

BASF and Nippon Paint China, the leading coatings manufacturer, jointly launched an eco-friendly industrial packaging, which has been adopted by the Nippon Paint dry-mixed mortar series products. With BASF's water-based acrylic dispersion Joncryl® High-Performance Barrier (HPB) as the barrier material, the new packaging material is commercialized for the construction of dry mortar products of Nippon Paint. With excellent vapor and water resistance properties, Joncryl® HPB can replace plastics used in traditional packaging and significantly improve the recyclability of paper-based packaging, achieving the innovative application of "Paper Replacing Plastics" in industrial packaging.

BASF partnered with Ingredi, a local supplier of natural actives and solutions for the personal care industry and made a strategic equity investment into Ingredi. Established in 2017, Ingredi has shown strong capabilities on identifying new personal care active ingredients from the natural plants found in the Himalaya area. Through the equity investment from BASF, Ingredi will be able to extend its production facilities. In addition, BASF will jointly work with Ingredi on new solutions and commercialize them to be applied in the global personal care market.

BASF and Solar Earth Technologies Ltd co-developed Paving Integrated Photovoltaic (PIPV) panels which can be installed on new or existing roads and other surfaces. The co-creation is part of the ongoing partnership between the two companies to develop innovative energy-efficient technologies that will advance the next wave of solar power applications.
