BASF Research Press Conference
This year's research press conference is focused on circular economy. Innovations from the chemical industry are crucial to this transformation from linear to circular value chains. BASF scientists are offering exclusive insights on how to improve existing cycles or create completely new approaches for the circular economy.
BASF’s circular economy program
BASF has launched a new Circular Economy Program. By the year 2030, we aim to double our sales generated with solutions for the circular economy to €17 billion. To achieve this, BASF is concentrating on three action areas: circular feedstocks, new material cycles and new business models.
The circular economy is a central future topic in society and politics. At BASF, we are currently driving forward more than 20 projects for the circular economy. And we are doing this with a great deal of ambition and creativity because this paradigm shift also affects practically all our customer industries.
