About us
On the way to rethink plastics. Without doubt our everyday lives rely on plastics and as consumers we enjoy the lightweight, durability and versatility they bring. There are countless of advantages plastics bring to innovation, but they must also be sustainable. #OurPlasticsJourney At BASF Performance Materials, we envision a sustainable world with plastics. We explore new ways to make the lifecycle of plastics more sustainable: from how we can produce plastics more resource-efficiently, to how we can use them better, to how we can give them a new life. We call this transformation #OurPlasticsJourney. But we cannot do it on our own. That is why we are working with partners along the value chain and create solutions together. Together we can reach our goal of a cleaner tomorrow faster. #OurPlasticsJourney has begun, now it is time for you to embark.

🔍 What happens when you swap heavy metal for smart plastics in hydrogen production? Stargate Hydrogen benefits from just this: replacing metal frames in electrolyzer stacks with BASF’s Ultrason® S. The results: • Lighter stacks that are easier to handle • Frames that stand up to heat, pressure, and harsh chemicals • Longer lifespans and less downtime for hydrogen production Or in other words: a significant step toward making green hydrogen scalable! Curious how Ultrason(R) is powering the energy transition? Check out the new press release, you can find the link in the comments! 👉 https://lnkd.in/eGCksWnX #OurPlasticsJourney #GreenHydrogen #Ultrason #Sustainability
