“Long-term success calls for sustainable enterprise. We use our extensive knowledge to help make ourselves and our customers more successful. We help customers develop more sustainable product solutions and enable them to differentiate themselves from their competitors,” explained Ernst Schwanhold, head of the Environment, Safety & Energy competence center at BASF Aktiengesellschaft.
In developing SEEbalance, BASF worked with various research institutes, for example the Institute for Geography and Geoecology at the University of Karlsruhe, the Okoinstitut e.V. and the University of Jena. The project is part of the Sustainable Chemistry of Aromatics research project sponsored by the German Ministry of Education and Research.
