Hexamoll® DINCH BMB
BASF’s Biomass Balance Approach contributes to the use of renewable raw materials in its integrated production system. In this process, renewable resources, such as bio-naphtha or bio-methane replace fossil feedstock at the very beginning of the Production Verbund and are attributed to the respective sales products using a third-party verified mass balance approach. The certified products contribute to a sustainable development by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and saving fossil resources.
The resulting products carrying the name suffix “BMB” have the exact same properties as those manufactured from fossil feedstock. Therefore, our customers can further process and use Hexamoll® DINCH BMB in the same way as conventionally manufactured Hexamoll® DINCH.
Hexamoll® DINCH Ccycled®
ChemCycling® is the name of a chemical recycling project launched by BASF with the aim to manufacture products from chemically recycled plastic waste on an industrial scale. BASF cooperates with technology partners, who use a thermochemical process called pyrolysis to transform plastic waste into a secondary raw material (pyrolysis oil). This oil is fed into BASF’s production network (Verbund) at the beginning of the value chain, thereby saving fossil resources and contributing to plastic waste recycling. The share of recycled material is attributed to products manufactured in the Verbund by using a third-party audited mass balance approach.
The resulting products carrying the name suffix “Ccycled®” have the exact same properties as those manufactured from fossil feedstock. Hence, our customers can further process and use Hexamoll® DINCH Ccycled® in the same way as conventionally manufactured Hexamoll® DINCH.
