At Fakuma 2024, Siemens and BASF are jointly presenting solutions to promote the circular economy. One highlight is the Sirius 3RV2 circuit breaker, which is made from biomass-balanced plastics. By using bioplastics such as Ultramid BMBcertTM and Ultradur BMBcertTM, Siemens is replacing fossil raw materials with biomethane from agricultural waste.
The sustainable plastic solution makes it possible to Reduce energy consumption over the entire life cycle, without compromising quality. BASF presents on the Fakuma 2024 also plans to expand its TPU product portfolio, which is increasingly focussing on recycling and bio-based materials. With the Elastollan RC series, the company offers products that contain up to 100 per cent recycled TPU and therefore contribute to the reduction of plastic waste. In addition BASF expands the production of bio-based Elastollan TPU, which is made from renewable raw materials.
Digital solutions to increase efficiency
In addition to sustainable materials, BASF will be presenting the new Pacific app for monitoring the product carbon footprint (PCF) at the trade fair. This solution supports manufacturers in achieving their sustainability goals by monitoring the CO2-Track the carbon footprint of your products in real time can. The app is part of the Catena-X Automotive Ecosystem and enables companies to make their production processes even more efficient and resource-saving.
In order to further reduce production costs, BASF presents the new HPP portfolio (High Productivity Plus), which Cycle time and energy consumption in the production process reduced. This enables manufacturers to reduce their costs and produce more sustainably at the same time. Initial tests with Ultramid and Ultradur show a potential reduction in cycle times of up to 30 per cent.
