At K 2025, the world’s leading plastics trade fair, BASF will showcase a wide range of innovations aimed at reducing environmental impact across the packaging value chain. The company’s exhibit in Hall 5 (Booth C21/D21) will center on material solutions that enable circularity, lower product carbon footprints, and support compostability—responding to growing demand for sustainable packaging options.
A key highlight will be BASF’s extended Biomass Balance (BMB) portfolio, which replaces fossil resources with renewable feedstock at the start of the production process. This approach will be demonstrated through practical packaging applications using materials such as Ultramid® BMB and Ultradur® BMB.
BASF is also highlighting its certified compostable and soil-biodegradable biopolymer solutions—ecovio® and ecoflex®. Designed for paper-based food packaging, these materials provide necessary barrier properties for liquids and fats while allowing for organic recycling at end-of-life. These applications aim to support packaging producers as they transition away from single-use plastics.
“With our circular material solutions and new product lines using renewable feedstock, we are helping customers take real steps in reducing carbon emissions and achieving packaging circularity,” said Martin Jung, President of BASF Performance Materials.
In addition to materials, BASF will demonstrate its digital PACIFIC app—developed to support standardized carbon footprint data exchange. The tool is intended to help packaging producers and converters accurately assess and report environmental impacts across supply chains.
The K 2025 platform will also feature live sessions under the banner #OurPlasticsDialogues, where BASF and industry stakeholders will discuss the challenges and potential of advancing sustainable materials in packaging.
