BASF today announced the launch of Reduced Product Carbon Footprint (ReducedPCF) #Elastollan®ThermoplasticPolyurethane (TPU) portfolio in Asia Pacific, enabling customers to lower the carbon footprint of their products while maintaining the proven performance of Elastollan. The ReducedPCF grades are achieved through active PCF reduction measures, including the use of lower‑emission utilities and fossil feedstocks with lower PCF. The Product Carbon Footprint calculation methodology follows TfS (Together for Sustainability) Guideline requirements and ISO 14067. Through these active measures, the new ReducedPCF grades achieve a PCF reduction of 10-30% compared to the PCF of current Elastollan grades, while remaining technically identical. Selected Elastollan TPU products manufactured at the site in Shanghai may additionally incorporate site‑specific mass‑balance biomethane as an active PCF reduction measure. The Elastollan ReducedPCF portfolio will be produced at BASF’s site in Shanghai,...

The research, conducted by sustainability consulting firm Aura, found 37% of consumers surveyed across the two countries had decided against buying something because it was unsustainably packaged. The figure rose to 42% for European consumers. "Packaging is the new pressure point for North American brands and retailers," said Gillian Garside-Wight, director of consulting at Aura. "It's become a visible test of their environmental credibility, and if they're willing to accept the costs of positive change. "Consumers are clearly making decisions based on whether businesses are serious about sustainability," she added. In particular, the survey found that 80% of all respondents said brands and retailers were using too much packaging, though only 57% of the North American respondents saw a direct link betwe...

Kruger Inc. announced a $333 million investment, marking its entry into the nonwovens sector and advancing its long-term portfolio diversification strategy. This new division will focus on manufacturing some of the industry’s most sustainable materials for a broad range of wipe applications. Central to this major project is the installation of the first production line of its kind in Canada, to be built on รŽle-de-la-Potherie in Trois-Riviรจres, adjacent to Kruger’s Wayagamack paper mill, with commissioning scheduled for 2028. This project was made possible with the support of both levels of government, including a $35 million contribution from the Government of Canada through the Strategic Response Fund (SRF), as well as a $35 million loan from Investissement Quรฉbec, acting as financial agent for the Government of Quรฉbec, along with a $5,025,000 equity investment in Kruger Pulp and Paper Limited Partnership Holding. Investissement Quรฉbec is also investing an additional $25 million from ...

TATA Advanced Systems Limited has successfully rolled out the first #AirbusC295 military transport aircraft from its Final Assembly Line in Vadodara, Gujarat, marking a historic milestone in India’s #aerospace manufacturing journey under the Make in India initiative. This achievement comes ahead of schedule and represents the first time a private sector facility has produced a #militaryaircraft in India. The rollout of the first C-295 aircraft from the Vadodara plant is part of a ₹21,935 crore agreement signed in 2021 between India and #Airbus Defence and Space of Spain. Under this contract, 56 aircraft are to be delivered to the Indian Air Force, with 16 supplied in fly-away condition from Seville, Spain, and the remaining 40 manufactured and assembled in India by #TATAAdvancedSystemsLimited . Military training programs This programme is intended to replace the ageing Avro fleet of the IAF and significantly enhance India’s tactical airlift capability. It represents a major boost t...
