Battery Recycling: Helping the Electric Vehicle Industry Close the Loop
Battery Recycling: Helping the Electric Vehicle Industry Close the LoopExperts estimate that in 2030, more than 1.
5 million tons of electric vehicle batteries will need to be processed
.
However, until today, this recycling process still requires a lot of energy or generates a lot of salts that need to be processed later
.
In this way, BASF supports the European Commission in achieving the sustainability goals of the battery value chain in Europe
.
Additives help improve plastic recycling
Additives help improve plastic recyclingBASF's R&D personnel have been concentrating on how to effectively close the material loop
.
BASF's R&D personnel have developed various plastic additive products to stabilize and improve the quality of recycled materials to solve these problems

Plastic waste becomes new raw material for chemical industry
Plastic waste becomes new raw material for chemical industryEvery year, 200 million tons of plastic waste is not recycled around the world
.
To advance this promising technology, BASF has launched the ChemCycling project (ChemCyclingTM) in 2018
.
BASF researchers are working with partners to further develop and improve processes to produce pyrolysis oil from mixed plastic waste
.
The development of suitable catalysts for new process technologies is an important part of this
.
These catalysts are needed to ensure that the new process is not affected by the composition of plastic waste and always produces high-purity pyrolysis oil
.
The first-generation catalyst is already used in the pyrolysis unit of BASF's Norwegian partner Quantafuel
.
Scientists from both companies are taking advantage of the expertise and high-throughput laboratories of BASF's subsidiary High Throughput Testing (hte GmbH, Heidelberg, Germany), as well as the computing power of BASF's supercomputers, in order to carry out development work efficiently
.
The Rambutan Project: Sustainable Sourcing of Organic Raw Materials
The Rambutan Project: Sustainable Sourcing of Organic Raw MaterialsRenewable raw materials are another pillar of BASF's circular economy plan, which plans to further increase the use of renewable raw materials from sustainable sources in its production
.
In the Rambutan project, for example, BASF has extracted high-quality cosmetic active ingredients from different parts of a plant that was previously considered waste
.
For customers in the cosmetics industry, BASF researchers are always looking for useful active ingredients in nature, such as bark, leaves, roots, seeds and fruits, by studying thousands of plant samples every year
.
Eventually BASF scientists found the ideal bioactive in the rambutan tree, a close relative of the lychee tree
.
BASF researchers have found that the water extract of rambutan leaves activates different human skin genes, thereby promoting collagen production
.
In addition, the peel and seeds of the rambutan fruit also contain active ingredients that promote skin hydration and stimulate the vitality of hair roots
.
BASF has since pioneered a new way of using the rambutan plant, not just limited to the juicy fruit of the plant, but also making full use of the peel, leaves and seeds that people don't eat, ensuring that every part of the plant is used to its full potential
.
In order to achieve sustainable procurement of cosmetic raw materials through the Rambutan project, BASF has established a socially and environmentally responsible supply chain with local partners in Vietnam, and cultivated two organic certified rambutan plants for the first time in Vietnam garden
.
The program gives employees above-average income and health insurance and ensures a safer work environment
.
The project has achieved extraordinary results, benefiting not only consumers but also employees and the local environment
