BASF’s engineering plastics plant in Minhang, Shanghai, and at the Zhanjiang Verbund site in Guangdong Province have been certified under #ISCCPLUS (International Sustainability and Carbon Certification) . The certification covers renewable and recycled feedstocks and verifies their sustainable origin and allocation through a mass balance approach, offering independent traceability across the value chain.


The certification expands the availability of BASF’s ISCC PLUS-certified #engineeringplastics in China, enabling customers to advance their sustainability targets with confidence. By using ISCC PLUS-certified materials, customers – particularly in the automotive and electrical & electronics (E&E) industries – can rely on credible and transparent sustainability claims without compromising product quality or performance.


“The ISCC PLUS certification of our Shanghai and Zhanjiang operations reflects our commitment to delivering verified, low‑carbon material solutions at scale,” said Andy Postlethwaite, Senior Vice President, Performance Materials Asia Pacific. “Local certification strengthens supply reliability and helps customers accelerate their green transformation while maintaining the performance they require.


The certification is part of BASF’s broader expansion of #sustainable product offerings across Asia Pacific, extending ISCC PLUS coverage from Korea and Malaysia to additional sites in #China, and enabling more traceable material choices for local customers. To date, close to 70% of BASF’s Performance Materials sites in Asia Pacific have been ISCC PLUS certified, supporting customers’ green transformation goals across a wide range of industries.

Today's KNOWLEDGE Share : Robotic 3D printing can compete with traditional boatbuilding

Image
Today's KNOWLEDGE Share “Robotic 3D printing can compete with traditional boatbuilding”, Simone Barbera and Mattia De Santis, Caracol V2 catamaran was printed in Italy at Caracol’s production center and headquarter in Barlassina, near Milan, with a Heron AM 400, Caracol’s robotic Large Format Additive Manufacturing (LFAM) platform. The lattest was specifically configured with a 7-axis robotic arm mounted on a rail, enabling the printing of parts up to 10 meters in length. How did the collaboration between V2 Group and Caracol come about? Simone Barbera : The collaboration between V2 Group and Caracol originated from a shared vision to revolutionize boat manufacturing through sustainable innovation. V2 Group, a Spanish-company specialized in nautical design and engineering, is seeking to develop electric vessels manufactured sustainably. On the other hand, Caracol, leader in robotic advanced manufacturing technology, had had years of experience working with Large Format Additive Ma...

Today's KNOWLEDGE Share : What Is Going Wrong in UK Plastics Recycling?

Image
Today's KNOWLEDGE Share What Is Going Wrong in UK Plastics Recycling? Biffa shut its Sunderland plant. Viridor walked away from Avonmouth and Rochester. Yes Recycling Fife collapsed within a year. All three were backed by major investments All three had buyers lined up for recyclate All three are now offline This is not bad luck It is bad structure Over the next four posts I will break down: 1. Why cheap virgin imports are undercutting UK recyclers 2. How weak policy enforcement is fuelling market failure 3. What volatile PRNs and cheap exports are doing to infrastructure 4. Why demand from brands is softer than their promises Let’s start with the first: **Cheap Virgin Resin = Broken Economics** Virgin PE, PP, and PET have been flooding the global market. New capacity in Asia and the US has driven prices down 30 to 40 percent. Meanwhile, recycled plastic costs more to produce in the UK than it can sell for. We are asking UK recyclers to compete with materials made in places with – ...

Today's KNOWLEDGE Share : A BUG IN INJECTION MOLDING

Image
Today's KNOWLEDGE Share A bug in injection molding – an injection-molded part in a bug? Neither! Nature and injection molding have reached similar results. Nature created the first micro-gear long before any human engineering existed. One such example is the Issus coleoptratus (shown in the picture). Furthermore, only now are we reaching the point where injection-molded polymer microgears can approach this level of performance. Looking at the images, which one do you think is the natural gear, and which one is the molded version? It is not that easy to tell, right? Their appearance and operating principles are surprisingly similar. Chitin, a natural linear polymer, forms what nature essentially "molds” into shape. In engineering, we rely on advanced technical polymers to produce similar geometry through actual injection molding. They are not the same material, yet they solve the same issue: Stiffness, dimensional stability, and reliable function at a scale where tolerances...
