Innovation to improve the sustainability of plastics-Interview with the head of the Innovation and Technology Center of BASF Specialty Chemicals Asia Pacific

At present, with consumers' increasing attention to "plastic reduction" and increasingly stringent regulatory requirements, the plastics industry is actively seeking ways to increase the content of recycled polymer materials in important applications in order to achieve sustainable development goals

According to Michael Ishaque, technological innovation for pain points, the acceleration of sustainable development is driven by the joint efforts of consumers, customers, regulatory agencies and all parties in society

In view of the difficulty that recycled plastics usually contain impurities and polymer contaminants, which will accelerate the degradation of the polymer and thus change the performance of the material, the BASF innovation team has worked hard to develop optimized stabilizers suitable for the second and even the third regeneration

Michael Ishaque said that BASF has developed these solutions by combining high-quality antioxidant and light stabilizer product systems with technical expertise based on its rich experience in the plastics industry
