29-Aug-2019 12:46We are part of the Business for #InclusiveGrowth coalition by the OECD - OCDE and support the Waste-2-Chemicals project in Nigeria. The Aim: to reduce the environmental impact caused by plastics waste entering drains and the Atlantic Ocean. Until 2021, 3 micro recycling hubs for plastic waste are going to be built and each will recycle about 5-10 tons of plastic waste per day. 50-60 more are in planning and will then be set up by local governments, NGOs, social entrepreneurs.

11-Jul-2019 07:23In the face of climate change and a growing human population, the concept of a Circular Economy is becoming more and more important for the food and nutrient cycle. With the certified compostable plastic ecovio®, BASF has developed a material portfolio for a variety of applications throughout the entire food cycle, from packaging and transport to waste collection. Numerous studies show: food waste is reduced, nutrients are returned to the soil, and the accumulation of plastics in soil is avoided. https://on.basf.com/2NNcY6g
