BASF launches industry-first ISCC certified biomass balance plastic additives

BASF launched the industry’s first biomass balance offerings for plastic additives – Irganox 1010 BMBcert and Irganox 1076 FD BMBcert, which support the use of renewable feedstock and help users to meet their target on sustainability.

Certified by TÜV Nord for mass balance according to the International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC PLUS), the solutions reduce fossil feedstock demand by using ISCC certified bio-based feedstock.

With these sustainably sourced renewable feedstocks, the product’s cradle-to-gate carbon footprint is significantly reduced by up to 60%, compared to the global average product carbon footprint of conventional grades.

BASF launched industry-first biomass balance offerings of plastic additives.

Irganox 1010 BMBcert and Irganox 1076 FD BMBcert are drop-in replacements for Irganox 1010 and Irganox 1076. These BMBcert offerings are identical to the conventional grades in performance, quality, and product stewardship and regulatory aspects. Therefore, users do not need to requalify the new additives or reformulate their products.

The two offerings will initially be produced at BASF’s site in Kaisten, Switzerland, with additional availability of Irganox 1010 FF BMBcert and Irganox 1076 FD BMBcert from McIntosh, US in early 2024.
