A polyurethane foam that can be recycled and reused in the same consistent quality? We made it happen! Together with our long-time partner Vitra – famous for its iconic Panton Chair. This is a great example of how we at BASF see our customers: as partners! And how we help our partners on their green transformation journeys. From region to region, from industry to industry. We have much to offer: high-performance plants, significant volumes of renewable energy, access to alternative feedstocks. And the expertise to cleverly combine these components in our Verbund. Each customer gets exactly the product that suits their transformation path. Curious? Take a look behind the scenes in Antwerp, Lemfoerde, and Weil am Rhein. #makeitcount #WinningWays

Automotive Shredder Residue (ASR) used to be the end of the road - too mixed, too messy, too hard to recycle. But that’s changing. Thanks to constructive conversations, sharp thinkers, and a pilot project with Porsche AG and BEST - Bioenergy and Sustainable Technologies GmbH, we’ve proven that ASR can be recycled - and transformed into high-quality raw materials. The route we’ve discovered together? Gasification. Not the kind you’re thinking of 😉. This one’s cleaner, smarter, and totally part of a circular future. 🌏 From “unrecyclable” to “resourceful” - we’ve just cleared a major roadblock on #OurPlasticsJourney. https://lnkd.in/ejgnPNae

Regulators don’t just set the rules of the game - they actually decide who wins and who loses. At Gastech Exhibition & Conference 2025, I had the chance to join a lively panel on the future of low-carbon fuels. My takeaways from it were crystal clear: • Pragmatism over ideology. Biogenic CO₂ for efuels may be ideal, but captured CO₂ from the industry could be a valid second best today - let’s not stall deployment waiting for purity tests. • Markets over muddle. Leave space for competitiveness and technology to do their job: uncertainty over regulation helps no one. • Geographies matter. Some projects are moving forward because the right mix of resources, demand and offtake agreements already exists. The Sunbelt economies are poised to increase their role, but only if we build familiarity and confidence in these geographies. The transition won’t succeed with grandstanding. It will succeed with clear rules, competitive projects and pragmatic choices. Great to share the stage with Marco Alvera', Steve Esau, Andrew Woods and guided by Gaurav Sharma - sharp insights, sharp minds.

Germany’s chemicals sector is in trouble… operating at just 72% capacity in Q2 2025…. the lowest in over 30 years. Key points: 💡Production fell 5.1% YoY 💡Major buyers, like auto and pharma, are cutting back 💡US tariffs on European cars (27.5%) are hitting supply chains The last time we saw levels this low was 1991, after reunification created massive overcapacity. Back then, recovery took years of factory closures and restructuring. Today, challenges look different: ⚡ High energy costs ⚡ Global trade frictions ⚡ Low investment incentives The big question: Can Germany’s industrial backbone adapt before the crisis deepens? #Chemicals #Industry #Germany #Economy #FollowUsBeyond #Resilience
