The packaging industry is increasingly facing the need to develop more sustainable yet high-performance solutions. At interpack 2026, BASF will present a comprehensive portfolio of material solutions that meet precisely these requirements, together with its European sales organisation BTC Europe.
BASF is increasingly focusing on materials that are not only functional but also environmentally sound. These include bio-based plastics and recyclable materials that follow the principles of the circular economy. These solutions are intended to enable the packaging industry to minimise resource use while maintaining packaging performance.
Adaptation to modern logistics chains
A further focus is on adapting packaging to the requirements of modern logistics chains. BASF emphasises that its solutions are designed to make transport and storage more efficient, without compromising on the safety or quality of the packaging.
BASF presents applications from the following areas:
- Polyamide packaging with Ultramid®Recalled® for food packaging and other sensitive applications, as well as the latest product innovation Ultramid®H, the first thermoplastic polyamide with high water permeability.
- Adhesives that support packaging recycling within existing infrastructures and processes: Water-based Epotal® Peel adhesives for easy separation of materials from PET-based multilayer packaging and for safe recycling of mono-material films without pollutants such as primary aromatic amines (PAA); Label adhesives that can be removed from PET and glass bottles (acrylate hotmelt acResin®and paper and cardboard packaging (water-based dispersions (Acronal® RCF) can be easily removed.
- Water-based Joncryl®Resins for printing inks and barrier coatings for innovative and sustainable packaging that fully dissolve and are compatible with current recycling protocols for paper-based packaging. The use of bio-based, mass-balanced or ChemCycling™ materials also contributes to significant CO₂-To achieve savings.
- The certified home-compostable biopolymer ecovio® for a broad spectrum of flexible and rigid packaging: from ultra-thin, biaxially oriented films with excellent optical properties to high-barrier packaging for fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG), all suitable for organic or paper recycling.
Forward-looking developments
According to BASF, the presented solutions not only address current market needs but are also geared towards future trends. The use of innovative materials is intended to create packaging that meets both the increasing demands for sustainability and efficiency.
