Ultramid® Ccycled®

Sustainable solutions with Ultramid® Ccycled®

Ultramid® Ccycled® from BASF stands for a future-oriented mass-balanced high-quality product that supports the use of recycled feedstock based on plastic waste. Chemical recycling currently makes use of hard-to-recycle plastic waste materials such as end-of-life tires or mixed household waste. The recycled feedstock is substituting fossil-based raw materials at the beginning of the production network as a drop-in solution.

With the new Ultramid® Ccycled® products, BASF helps you in the development of your sustainable product offerings 
With its ChemCycling® project, BASF is breaking new ground in the recycling of plastic waste. Chemical recycling primarily involves the use of plastic waste that has so far been used for energy recovery or landfilled, such as mixed plastic waste or end-of-life tires. In a thermochemical process, BASF’s partners obtain recycled feedstock from these plastics. The secondary feedstock is then fed into the BASF Verbund. Using a mass balance approach, these chemicals can be attributed to specific products manufactured in the Verbund, such as our Ultramid® Ccycled® products. Fossil raw materials are thus replaced and saved.
