What’s more, our sustainable drop-in solutions provide a product quality and performance identical to that of their conventional counterparts,” says Soeren Hildebrandt, senior vice president, Home Care, I&I, and Industrial Formulators Europe at BASF.

BASF’s product range for the detergent and cleaning industry as well as industrial formulators will boast around 20 biomass-balanced. EcoBalanced products, whose manufacturing process involves replacing the fossil raw materials used at the beginning of the production chain by renewable materials obtained from organic waste and other sources. Mirroring the principle of green electricity, the renewables proportion is attributed to the respective sales products using a certified mass balance method. Depending on the product, the product carbon footprint (PCF) of items in the EcoBalanced series may shrink by up to one hundred percent. What’s more, these products perform just as brilliantly as their conventional counterparts, seamlessly replacing them in existing formulations without a need for reformulation. Both the attribution process and the actual EcoBalanced products are TÜV Nord-certified, meeting the standards of the global REDcert scheme.
