One example is BASF's polyamide Ultramid ® Ccycled ® – a future-oriented mass‑balanced product that supports the use of alternative raw materials from the chemical recycling of plastic waste. Chemical recycling currently uses plastic waste that is difficult to recycle, such as end-of-life tyres or mixed plastics, thus keeping it in the material cycle. The recycled raw material is fed into the beginning of the BASF production Verbund and attributed to Ultramid ® Ccycled ® products via a mass‑balance approach. Fossil raw materials are thus replaced and saved. Customers use Ccycled ® products in many segments, such as textiles and packaging. Since Ultramid ® Ccycled ® has the same quality as the conventional product, this polyamide is also ideally suited for highly regulated applications such as food packaging.
